Efficient Processing of Biomass Energy and Waste Fuels

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Energies on ‘Efficient Processing of Biomass Energy and Waste Fuels’.
This issue will cover several topics and current trends and technologies associated with energy conversion, with particular emphasis put on the processing of biomass and other renewable fuels. The technologies of fuel thermal treatment in order to convert it into valuable products will be presented and new ways to produce liquid, solid, and gaseous substances will be analyzed. Various aspects of the application of biochar will be investigated and presented, and environmental effects of biochar application will be dealt with. The modern use of biochar for power generation, sustainable agricultural production, pollutant reduction, etc. will be focused on. Furthermore, the application of the biochar for material engineering, chemistry, environmental engineering, and several other industries will be addressed.
The current Special Issue of the journal also invites and welcomes papers on a broad spectrum of ideas, processes, and technologies addressing sustainable development strategies, waste and waste fuel processing, emission reduction or the utilization or reuse of any process byproducts. Any paper that may help to increase people‘s environmental awareness in order to switch from the current linear economy development to a more circular one would fit perfectly to this Special Issue of Energies.
I am confident that your research group will find the above scope interesting and you will contribute to this enterprise in our common interest.
