Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of biomass and bioenergy is fundamental to society's sustainable development, providing renewable and reliable sources of energy. They can help mitigate climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the shift to a cleaner economy. By reducing dependence on fossil fuels, biomass can be produced sustainably, ensuring resources are available for future generations. Additionally, they can create jobs through local economic development, decrease reliance on external energy sources, and offer solutions for reducing waste sent to landfills.
The use of biomass and bioenergy in the environment can also help with carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Biomass and bioenergy are essential for a more sustainable, resilient, and fair society, providing renewable energy sources and aiding in climate change mitigation.
