Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global climate change and the demand for renewable energy pose a big challenge in the current solid waste treatment field. Thus, innovative technologies are urgently needed for energy/resource recovery from biomass waste treatment toward environmental and economic sustainability. Additionally, the biorefinery approach of recycling biomass-derived resources to replace fossil-based energy contributes to the aim of carbon neutrality. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for global researchers to disseminate recent technological developments and engineering solutions in the areas of biomass waste treatment. Within this context, we would like to invite you to submit original research and review articles to disseminate and share new findings in energy/resource recovery from biomass wastes.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Anaerobic digestion;
- Solid waste management;
- Biofuels and biorefineries such as biogas production, biohydrogen production, life cycle assessment of biofuels, and microbial fuel cells;
- Biomass and feedstock utilization;
- Physicochemical and thermochemical processes for lignocellulosic and algal biomass;
- Chemical–physical processes to recover nutrients from biomasses;
- Nutrient recovery from biomasses: LCA and policy approach;
- Development of innovative pretreatment methods for biomass wastes.

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.
