Advances in Biomass and Bioenergy

Dear Colleagues,

Biomass plays a key role in the development of renewable and sustainable energy systems. With growing global energy demand and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there is an increasing requirement for efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly bioenergy technologies. Significant progress has been made in areas such as the thermochemical, biochemical, and catalytic conversion of biomass, as well as in the production of advanced biofuels, biogas, and biohydrogen. However, many challenges remain in terms of feedstock availability, process optimization, large-scale implementation, and the integration of biomass into circular economy frameworks.

This Topic is dedicated to disseminating innovative research and regarding the practical applications of biomass utilization for energy. We welcome contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas of research:

• Thermochemical, biochemical, and catalytic processes for biomass conversion;
• Development of advanced biofuels and biohydrogen;
• Novel biomass feedstocks and pretreatment strategies;
• Integration of bioenergy with other renewable systems.
