Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable management of organic waste and wastewater has become a critical global challenge due to increasing population and industrial activities. Recent advancements in bioenergy technologies have opened new pathways for converting organic residues and effluents into valuable energy products such as biogas, biohydrogen, and bioethanol. The integration of advanced biological, chemical, and physico-chemical processes—including anaerobic digestion, microbial electrochemical systems, photocatalysis, and thermochemical conversion—has shown great potential to enhance energy recovery efficiency and environmental performance.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Technologies for Bioenergy Recovery from Organic Waste and Wastewater”, aims to highlight recent progress in innovative materials, process optimization, hybrid systems, and modeling approaches that contribute to sustainable energy generation and resource recovery. We welcome scholars to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies focusing on novel technologies, process intensification, and environmental benefits associated with bioenergy recovery from waste-based resources.

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.
