Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, climate-neutrality has been an essential goal to preserve life and the natural environment. To achieve this, our economic activities should adopt a circular economy. Circular systems create a closed-loop for reducing the resource inputs and creation of waste such as pollution and carbon emission. One of the main pillars of the circular economy is the use of bioproducts. These can help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and provide eco-friendly alternative materials. Additionally, adopting a circular economy means that the entire lifecycle of products needs to be considered. The process for producing bioproducts should use less power and water, and produce fewer polluting emissions and waste in order to achieve environmental sustainability.
This Special Issue will deal with novel research developments regarding the production of bioproducts, such as bio-based materials, chemicals, and biofuels that consider environmental sustainability. The topics for this publication include, but are not limited to the following:
- Biomass conversion technologies for synthesizing bioproducts
- Biomass valorization of value-added materials
- Improvement of the biofuel process to save energy and water consumption
- Eco-friendly biofuel production technologies
- Bioconversion of GHG and wastes for synthesizing biofuels and biochemicals

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.
