Advanced Bioenergy and Biofuel Technologies
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Topic "Advanced Bioenergy and Biofuel Technologies". Biomass-derived fuels offer promising solutions for reducing GHG emissions while enhancing energy security. Recent advancements in biofuel technologies such as pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction have improved production efficiency, fuel stability, and the valorization of agricultural and forestry residues, municipal solid waste, and algae-based feedstocks.
In particular, torrefied biomass and biocarbon are gaining attention as renewable energy sources with high energy density and enhanced properties. Additionally, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and bio-marine fuels are emerging as key solutions for decarbonizing the aviation and maritime industries. However, ensuring a stable and sustainable supply of biomass feedstock remains a critical challenge.
This Topic seeks innovative research on the latest advancements in bioenergy and biofuels. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, biomass pre-treatment, biofuel production and upgrading (torrefied biomass, biocarbon, SAF, bio-marine fuels, biogas, etc.), feedstock sustainability, waste-to-energy strategies, and life-cycle assessment. We welcome original research, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the sustainable development of bioenergy and biofuel technologies.
