Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of the agricultural economy, the amount of agricultural waste is gradually increasing. Without better technical measures to deal with agricultural waste, it will have a large impact on the environment. On the other hand, If agricultural waste is used effectively and with low carbon output, it will become a valuable resource and will be able to be converted into renewable energy and series products.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to be an important source of information that aims to increase the standards of discussions, analyses, and evaluations related to the low-carbon utilization of agricultural waste. The issue will cover research within the field of renewable energy technology, such as pyrolysis technology, hydrothermal carbonization technology, biogas technology, and other related sciences, with a strong focus on the low-carbon utilization of agricultural waste. Authors are encouraged to submit their contributions based on the following current and relevant research topics:
- Characteristics, resources, and distribution of agricultural waste;
- Pretreatment, thermochemical, and biochemical utilization of agricultural waste;
- Collection, transport, and storage of agricultural waste;
- Carbon capture, storage, and utilization of agricultural waste;
- Extraction of value-added compounds from agricultural waste using green technologies;
- Opportunities, challenges, and policy related to agricultural waste.
