New Challenges in Waste Biomass

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “New Challenges in Waste Biomass”. Waste biomass is one of the most versatile and underutilized feedstocks for low carbon and renewable energy. To reach net zero emissions by 2050, waste biomass will play an important role in our wider low-carbon goals. There have been many innovation technologies in waste-to-energy arena. Nevertheless, wastes present a unique set of challenges in terms of conversion processes at a range of technology-readiness levels. Furthermore, supply for circular economy, sustainability, and accountability for emission and its policy analysis are also interesting topics for waste biomass researchers.

This Special Issue will deal with novel techniques and their challenges associated with the journey from waste to energy. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

• Waste-to-energy technology and policy;
• Gasification, liquefaction, or carbonization of biomass to high-value products;
• Carbon neutrality and carbon-negative technology;
• Biomass supply and circular economy;
• Sustainability and accountability for emissions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
