Biomass Combustion and Utilization for Energy Conversion

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue in Energies (IF: 3.004), entitled “Biomass Combustion and Utilization for Energy Conversion”, focuses on recent advances in different biomass utilization technologies, including direct combustion, thermochemical (pyrolysis, gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction) and biochemical (anaerobic digestion) methods. The issue includes papers that either discuss new engineering and science or review the existing literature. Topics examined include new reactors and approaches for biomass utilization, new insights into biomass conversion mechanisms during different utilization technologies, property analysis and further utilization of different kinds of products from biomass, especially those used as high-quality platform chemicals or precursors for novel advanced energy materials, and lifecycle assessments of biomass utilization technologies.

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-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.
