Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass, a versatile and readily available resource, stands at the forefront of energy innovation, offering a pathway to climate-friendly energy alternatives. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and insights on biomass energy, exploring both its potential and challenges in contributing to a greener and more resilient energy landscape.
We invite submissions that advance understanding of the following topics:
- Advances in biomass conversion technologies;
- Bioenergy and carbon sequestration (carbon capture and storage (CCS));
- Sustainable biomass production and sourcing;
- Biomass and rural development;
- Environmental and social impacts of biomass energy;
- Integration of biomass with other renewable sources;
- Economic viability and policy implications;
- Technological challenges and future prospects.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and thought-provoking perspectives that illuminate the role of biomass in shaping a sustainable energy future.
We look forward to receiving contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policy experts that offer innovative solutions and critical perspectives on the future of biomass energy.
