Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With increasing demand for sustainable energy, biomass recycling offers promising solutions for both energy production and waste management. This Special Issue seeks to showcase the latest advancements in the utilization and valorisation of biomass, exploring new techniques for converting biomass into valuable products. We invite submissions covering topics such as biomass thermochemical conversions, biofuels, and transforming biomass waste into high-value chemicals and materials.
This Special Issue will foster collaboration among researchers and industry experts, providing a platform to share ideas and explore new research directions in this field in order to advance the understanding and real-world applications of biomass recycling. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
