Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Optimized production of Bioenergy, Biofuels, and Biogas”. This Special Issue of Energies is intended to present a broad range of scientific challenges in relation to all aspects of bioenergy, biofuel, and biogas production. Both the global energy demand and the complexity of the energetic mix will increase by 2050. Renewable and clean energy sources must be developed to achieve carbon neutrality, aiming toward a sustainable future. In this context, biomass is the best option for creating biofuels that meet alternative fuel requirements. This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research articles and review articles reflecting the latest progress in the research of bioenergy. We propose to analyze the global concerns about bioenergy, biofuel, and biogas production, considering how sustainable and economic growth may be pursued while ensuring low environmental effects. We invite relevant experts in the above topics and colleagues to contribute papers reflecting these aspects.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Recent developments in bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) deployment;
- Optimization of biodiesel production;
- Biofuel sustainability;
- Economic viability of biofuel production;
- Biodiesel separation and purification;
- Generation of heat and power from biofuels;
- Biogas upgrading technologies;
- Energy storage and management system.
