Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to a sustainable energy system demands the accelerated development of green bio-hydrogen and advanced biogas technologies. As versatile and carbon-neutral energy carriers, bio-hydrogen and biogas represent critical pathways for decarbonizing industrial and transportation sectors, while supporting the circular integration of biomass valorization.
This Special Issue on “Green Bio-Hydrogen Energy and Biogas Production Technology” seeks high-quality papers focusing on the production, purification, application, and related topics of hydrogen and biogas. We particularly welcome contributions that explore novel bioprocesses, feedstock pretreatment and fractionation, microbial engineering, and integrated biorefinery designs for co-producing biofuels and renewable chemicals.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biological hydrogen production;
- Advanced biogas systems and biogas upgrading technologies;
- Biomass pretreatment and fractionation;
- Co-production of bio-hydrogen, biogas, and value-added chemicals from agro-industrial residues;
- Kinetic modeling and sustainability evaluation of integrated biofuel production pathways;
- Valorization of industrial waste for renewable gas production.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
