Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current context of global carbon dioxide emission reduction, biomass will occupy an important position in the future energy system as an eco-friendly zero-carbon fuel. Biomass thermal conversion (including combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, etc.), as the most common biomass energy utilization method, has garnered significant research attention. However, a significant challenge exists in various biomass thermal conversion processes: the tar problem. Biomass high-temperature thermal conversion technology is an emerging technical path that can potentially solve this problem from the root, and thus is expected to play an important role in the future utilization of biomass energy.
This Special Issue, ‘Research on High-Temperature Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass’, will aim to compile papers that address the recent advancements in high-temperature thermochemical conversion technologies and explore their role in future biomass energy utilization. We invite submissions on topics including (but are not limited to) the following:
- Biomass high-temperature thermochemical conversion processes;
- The development of models or simulations of high-temperature thermochemical conversion of biomass;
- Design, analysis, control, optimization, and operation of a biomass high-temperature thermochemical conversion equipment or energy system;
- Techno-economic assessment studies for optimization of the biomass high-temperature thermochemical conversion technology.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Ming Zhai

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.
