Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we are gathering valuable research and activities on the conversion of waste and biomass to biofuel and valuable products. This Special Issue will cover processes developed to reduce release of waste, and GHG emissions to the environment. Based on your expertise in this field, we think you could make an excellent contribution.
We kindly invite you to contribute a paper in this Special Issue on “Biomass and Waste as Feedstocks for Biofuel Production” at Energies, an MDPI journal with an IF of 3.252. If you are not able to submit by 13 February 2023, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Energies is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of 2000 CHF currently applies to all accepted papers. Please note that for papers submitted after 31 December 2021, an APC of 2200 CHF applies.
For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/instructions).
We hope you find this topic of interest and look forward to potentially collaborating with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Kind regards,
Dr. Samira Lotfi
