Biomass Waste as a Renewable Source of Biogas Production

Dear Colleagues,

We invite submissions to a Special Issue of Fermentation journal on the topic "Biomass Waste as a Renewable Source of Biogas Production". The Special Issue addresses challenges and opportunities for using both biomass and waste to enhance biogas quantity and quality.

Carbon-neutral-based energy consumption is an essential for maintaining a sustainable and eco-friendly social infrasystem. Renewable energy is gaining attention as part of alternative energy sources to achieve successful carbon neutrality. Of particular significance, biogas produced from biomass and waste is the most future-oriented renewable energy source. Based on this necessity, the development of biomass and waste to biogas technologies should be further accelerated for a successful access to make biogas valuable.

This Special Issue aims to collect articles that will contribute to an enhancement of biogas production from biomass or waste and provide a proper direction that biogasification technique will have to approach. The topics of interest allow, but are not limited to:

1. The development of biomass and waste usability;
2. Quantitative and qualitative enhancement of biogas;
3. Novel anaerobic digestion processes;
4. Pre- and post-treatments of biomass, organic waste, and digestate;
5. The recovery of biogas and value-added resource from wastewater;
6. Metagenomics for anaerobic microorganism;
7. Applied modeling.

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-anonymized 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.
