Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gasification, one of the major thermochemical conversion methods, is becoming a promising technology for biomass utilization with a positive environmental impact. Its versatile role in contributing to the demand for heat, electricity and syngas has qualified it as a decentralized energy conversion option. Its significant advantages in terms of renewability, carbon neutrality and high efficiency render this technology highly popular in countries with strong support for renewables and unused biomass. The use of the catalytic approach to improve the biomass gasification process has been widely researched in academia and applied in industry, ranging from feedstock pretreatment, gas–solid–liquid product distribution, in situ and ex situ tar abatement, gas composition regulation and downstream upgrading.
This Special Issue on “Catalytic Improvement of Biomass Gasification Process” welcomes submissions on novel catalytic findings related to the biomass gasification process. Research methods including process modeling, experimental studies, theoretical calculations or their combinations are accepted. Topics include, but are not limited, to the following areas concerning biomass gasification:
- Catalytic pretreatment of feedstock;
- Intensification of the catalytic process;
- Catalytic adjustment of products;
- Catalytic removal of tar;
- Catalytic upgrading and conversion of gas;
- Catalytic utilization of char.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Processes 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 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.
