Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The efficient utilization and management of biomass resources play a crucial role in advancing sustainable energy solutions and circular economy strategies. This special issue, Research on Biomass Resource Utilization and Management, aims to explore innovative approaches for converting biomass into high-value products, including biofuels, biochar, and biochemicals. It welcomes contributions on thermochemical, biochemical, and catalytic conversion techniques, as well as studies on biomass supply chain optimization, waste valorization, and environmental impact assessments. By bringing together cutting-edge research, this issue seeks to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability of biomass utilization while addressing global challenges related to energy security and environmental sustainability.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomass Characterization and Pretreatment
- Thermochemical Conversion
- Biochemical and Microbial Conversion
- Catalytic Processes in Biomass Valorization
- Waste Biomass Utilization
- Biorefinery and Circular Economy
- Environmental and Life Cycle Assessment
- Policy, Economics, and Supply Chain Management
- Innovative Biomass-Based Materials
- Hybrid and Emerging Technologies
This Special Issue seeks to bring together research that advances our understanding of biomass resource management while promoting sustainable and efficient utilization strategies.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
