Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to extend an invitation for you to contribute your research to our upcoming Special Issue focused on the availability, emissions, and sustainability of biomass energy. The rise in greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere has created an urgent need to mitigate climate change, which requires global collaboration. The Paris Agreement outlines a worldwide effort to reduce GHG emissions and limit the global temperature increase to 2°C in this century.
Biomass is widely distributed and offers the potential to provide significant amounts of bioenergy. As CO2 emissions from bioenergy can be absorbed by plant regrowth through photosynthesis, bioenergy has become an attractive option to mitigate climate change and achieve the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the utilization of bioenergy has the potential to stimulate local economic development and ensure domestic energy security and diversity. Nevertheless, significant gaps in our understanding of biomass availability, logistics, conversion pathways, carbon emissions, and contributions to sustainable development remain.
In regard to this Special Issue, we are particularly interested in papers (not limited to) that address the following areas: estimation of biomass availability from various sources on both a global and regional scale, optimization of biomass logistics to decrease emissions and costs, identification of the most reliable and efficient methods for assessing carbon emissions from bioenergy.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you for your interest in our Special Issue.
Dr. Liu Weiguo

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
