Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Energies on “Biomass-Derived Fuels and Materials: Volume II” aims to cover biomass-derived renewable fuels and materials conversion technologies, including biomass pretreatment and fractionation. In this context, we welcome submissions that deal with the development of novel lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment and fractionation processes. Moreover, we expect submissions on of microbial cultivation process development for the conversion of biomass-derived sugars to fuels and materials, as well as thermochemical processes of biomass. Furthermore, we will consider submissions within the biorefinery concepts regarding novel pretreatment techniques and their technical, environmental, and economic implications. In addition, we look forward to submissions on the conversion process particularities for biofuels and biochemicals, including chemical, biochemical, thermochemical, microbial, and combined approaches. Additionally, we expect submissions related to technoeconomic and environmental analysis, which may include supply chain assessment, byproducts, zero-waste techniques within the concept of circular economy, and process simulation and optimization. Finally, we welcome submissions on policy application and development related to the biobased economy. Consequently, this Special Issue is particularly addressed to researchers in crosscutting areas addressing any aspects of biomass-derived fuels and materials production.

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.
