Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Negative emissions are required to meet net zero. Efforts are increasing worldwide to move away from fossil fuels and move towards renewable energy. New technologies are being invented, and existing technologies are being improved to make them economically viable and environmentally acceptable. In order to meet the targets of greenhouse emissions reduction and to keep the global temperature rise below 2 °C, all the available technologies have to play their role.
Biomass with carbon capture can offer negative CO2 emissions and thus can help to compensate for hard-to-abate energy sectors. Without carbon capture and utilisation, the storage costs of decarbonisation will increase significantly. Carbon capture is a broad subject involving a number of technologies at different levels of development that have their own pros and cons. Energies has launched a Special Issue titled “Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage", covering but not limited to all aspects of BECCS listed below.
- Biomass combustion and gasification with CCS;
- Innovative concepts for syngas quality improvement;
- Water gas shift and reverse water gas shifts catalysis;
- Fischer–Tropsch process improvement, new catalysts, and concepts;
- Syngas conversion to chemicals and fuels;
- Conventional and new carbon capture technologies;
- Pre-combustion and post-combustion capture;
- New solvents for CO2 capture;
- Process and technological improvements;
- Practical issues and mitigations;
- Intensified processes in carbon capture;
- Impact of volatile metals and particulates in biomass flue gases on the capture process
You are invited to submit scientific research papers to this Special Issue. Manuscripts covering all levels of technological readiness, ranging from the concept stage to demonstration and deployment, are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
