Biomass Valorization and Sustainable Biorefineries

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue entitled “Biomass Valorization and Sustainable Biorefineries”. This Special Issue provides a platform to showcase the latest advancements in biorefinery models designed for efficient biomass conversion into value-added products such as biofuels, bioenergy, biochemicals, and other biomaterials.

Our goal is to explore innovative biorefinery strategies, novel biomass pretreatment methods, process optimization approaches, bio-based product development, and the diverse applications of microbial products.

We invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and case studies covering, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Tailored biorefinery processes;
• Innovative biomass pretreatment techniques;
• The microbial or thermochemical valorization of lignocellulosic biomass and agro-industrial by-products;
• Process optimization;
• Strategies for improved product recovery;
• Life cycle assessment and technical economic analysis of biomass valorization.

We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

Dr. Antonio Caporusso
Prof. Dr. Seraphim Papanikolaou

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Clean Technologies 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 1800 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.
