Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As global challenges related to climate change and environmental sustainability intensify, the need for innovative and efficient biological solutions has never been more urgent. The field of biological CO2 conversion, combined with advances in the cultivation of microorganisms and bioreactor technologies, offers promising pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate valuable substances for diverse industrial applications. Recent breakthroughs in large-scale cultivation, photocatalysis, and bioprocess optimization have created new opportunities for scaling up sustainable production systems, thus playing a crucial role in transforming waste into wealth. This Special Issue will present and disseminate the latest research and technological advancements in biological CO2 conversion, sustainable bioprocesses, and the production of high-value substances through biotechnology. We invite researchers to submit contributions that explore new approaches and innovative techniques across a range of applications, ranging from environmental management to the development of bio-based products. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, biological CO2 conversion processes and technologies; microorganisms in biotechnology and environmental applications; the production of valuable substances through biological and chemical processes; bioreactor design, optimization, and scale-up for industrial use; photocatalysis in environmental and industrial applications; advances in the large-scale cultivation of microorganisms; sustainable bioprocesses for the generation of high-value products; the integration of bioreactors with renewable energy systems; and novel biotechnological applications for circular economy models. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive platform for sharing innovative research that addresses critical environmental issues while contributing to the development of sustainable, bio-based industrial solutions.
