Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing world population and the associated increase in consumption of high amounts of resources mean it is necessary to use our resources at an optimum. Reducing waste, ensuring high-quality recycling, and using residual waste for efficient and clean energy generation all together can contribute to resource efficiency. Using biomass, such as municipal wastes, agricultural and forestry residues/wastes, or energy crops, as energy carriers in a diverse range of conversion technologies allows bioenergy to be used in all energy-related sectors: as a fuel in transport (for gasoline, diesel, gas, and electric vehicles), for the production of heating in households, in heating processes in industry, and for electricity generation, where electricity and heat production can be coupled.
With increasing energy demands worldwide, big central solutions as also decentral and local solutions to treat residues/wastes and produce energy need to be developed in a cost efficient and ecological way.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, application, and production of all types of bioenergy.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Green hydrogen production;
- Waste to energy (big and small scale);
- Bioenergy;
- Advancements in the RDF technology and its utilization;
- New developments in the energetic treatment of agricultural wastes.

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.
