Recent Advances in Bioconversion of Biomass to Value-Added Products

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Bioconversion of Biomass to Value-Added Products” aims to present recent research on any aspect of the reclaiming of biomass (including organic wastes) for the production of valuable products and energies. Reports on innovative conversion processes of biomass are encouraged. Some of its focal points include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:

1. Liquid biofuels from biomass and organic wastes;
2. Gas biofuels from biomass and organic wastes;
3. Other bioenergies (i.e., bioelectricity, bioelectrochemical H² and methane) from biomass and organic wastes;
4. Biorefineries from biomass and organic wastes for bioenergies and value-added bioproduct generation;
5. Innovative conversion processes of biomass;
6. Sustainability issues on the bioconversion of biomass to VAP (life cycle assessment, environmental sustainability evaluation, economic and social sustainability);
7. Bioelectrochemical systems for microbial synthesis of VAP;
8. Value-added chemicals from fermentation of biomass and organic wastes;
9. Innovative and improved conventional upstream and downstream processes to assist the bioconversion of biomass to VAP;
10. Circularity of bioconversion processes.

Reviews, original research and communications will be welcome. Since the key words and the topics list are not exhaustive, please feel free to consult with me regarding the suitability of your intended article.

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. 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.
