Catalysis in Biorefinery
This special issue belongs to the section "Biocatalysis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of biomass as a renewable feedstock, in the place of fossil resources, is significantly increasing for the production of chemicals, material, and bioenergy. However, biorefinery strategies have to fulfil specific innovative requirements which allow them to be sustainable. In this contest, (bio)catalysis could play a significant role for biomass conversion, since it promotes the development of eco-friendly and competitive production. The possibility to develop innovative/sustainable (bio)catalytic systems is also highly desired in order to easily shift systems on the industrial scale.
This Special Issue aims to collect the most recent and innovative contributions for the development of effective (bio)catalysts and their integration with other systems (e.g., membranes, nanotube, sensors).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts 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 2200 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.
