Advances in Thermal Conversion: Integrating and Intensifying Waste/Biomass-to-Energy Processes

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the innovative and emerging field of waste/biomass-to-energy processes, with a particular emphasis on process integration and intensification through thermal conversion methods. This Issue will explore the latest advancements in thermal technologies such as torrefaction, pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion, as well as their role in efficiently converting waste and biomass into energy, including carbon capture and storage (BECCS). The Issue will delve into the optimisation of these processes, addressing challenges related to efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact. It will also highlight the integration of these processes into existing industrial frameworks, examining how they can contribute to sustainable energy production and waste management.

Contributions are invited from research into technological developments, process design and optimisation, life cycle analysis, economic feasibility, and environmental sustainability in the field of waste/biomass-to-energy processes.

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-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 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.
