Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As Guest Editor I would like to extend a warm invitation to submit your research papers for consideration and possible publication in this Special Issue of Energies (ISSN 1996-1073; CODEN: ENERGA) entitled “Next Generation of Fluidized Bed Combustion and Gasification of Biomass and Waste”. Since the launch of Energies in 2008, the journal has been indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded, COMPENDEX, and other large databases. The latest Impact Factor for 2019 is 2.702, and the journal is included as level 1 on the Norwegian list.

In this Special Issue, we seek contributions of original papers and reviews about the latest research and technical development on fluidized beds related to the conversion of biomass and waste, where co-conversion and bed material interactions are interesting sub-topics. We encourage original work on experimental investigations into detailed aspects of the processes, as well as modeling and simulation studies. We also encourage the techno-economic assessment of both retrofit and innovative energy systems using thermochemical co-conversion technologies, as this is essential to bringing R&D activities into commercialization.

Dr. Nils Skoglund
Guest Editor

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.

This paper presents the energy characteristics of wood and wood-based materials in the form of commercially available pellets, furniture board (MDF) and OSB. Toxicometric indices were determined for gaseous destructs arising from thermal decomposition and combustion of the materials studied. The paper proves that combustion conditions are crucial in terms of toxic destructive emissions. It has been shown that the combustion of wood-based materials under controlled conditions can lead to equally low emissions of toxic wastes as the combustion of traditional wood materials. The paper also presents the index of greenhouse gas emission, the so-called CO2 equivalent, for the examined wood and wood-based materials. Full article
