Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to a world-renewable paradigm, under a context of mitigation of climate change and reducing carbon emissions is now at the top of public agenda, and its relevance in this century will surely grow. In particular, biomass is a major source of renewable decentralized energy and chemicals with a potential fundamental role as a complement for other sustainable energy providers.
In this context, this Special Issue of Resources wants to deliver a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to the use of agro-forestry biomass involving topics such as:
- The impact of agro-forestry management in the quantity and quality of biomass production;
- Thermochemical conversion of biomass from energy cultivations;
- Thermochemical conversion of biomass from agro-forestry residues;
- Biomass in a context of renewable transition.
