Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contemporary advancement toward an increasingly developed world has provided many advantages for humanity, but it has also brought about significant global concerns such as exponential waste accumulation, rapid consumption of finite fossil resources, increased environmental contamination, and climate change. Organic waste and biomass are both environmental pollutants and renewable feedstocks. Pyrolysis is one of the most essential processes for utilizing waste biomass resources. Under anoxic conditions, biomass pyrolysis can produce renewable bio-oil, charcoal, and a part of pyrolysis gas cheaply and in a continuous production process. The pyrolysis of biomass and organic waste contributes to the mitigation of various global concerns, such as resource shortages, climate change, and energy crises, and is critical for the long-term survival of humans on Earth.
This Special Issue, entitled "Research Progress and Application of Pyrolysis of Biomass and Organic Waste", aims to improve energy sustainability through new advances and practices in pyrolysis technology.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Thermochemical conversion of biomass and organic waste;
- Pyrolysis technology for biomass and organic waste;
- Pyrolysis process of biomass and organic waste;
- Upgrading and applications of pyrolysis products.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
