Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The utilization of fossil energy, especially its application as a transportation fuel, has resulted in the issue of continuous CO2 concentration increase. Therefore, the application and production of clean energy is an urgent task for our researchers and the global government.
The development of novel bioprocesses, including the construction of microbial strains and enzymatic processes, provides environmentally friendly choices for bioethanol, biodiesel, bio-aviation fuel, bio-hydrogen and the intermediate of biofuel production.
Various novel, bio-process-based clean energy production methods are welcomed, including microbial strain selection and construction by metabolic pathway modification, enzyme production and application for clean energy production, new bioreactor design and the scale-up of relative bioprocesses.
The goal of this Special Issue is to publish both recent innovative research results, as well as review papers on the production of clean energy or the bio-intermediate of sustainable energy through biochemical processes. Thus, review and research papers on the development of novel bio-processes, including the abovementioned topics, are of interest. If you would like to contribute a review paper, please contact one of the editors to discuss the relevance of the topic before submitting the manuscript.

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. Fermentation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
