Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 28th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition Conference (EUBCE), held during 6-9 July 2020, was the first virtual Biomass Conference in Europe (e-EUBCE 2020). EUBCE is one of the world’s leading R&D conferences combined with an international exhibition. EUBCE represents the leading platform for the collection, exchange, and dissemination of scientific know-how in the field of biomass and its utilization.
The 2020 conference program addressed many topics, including biomass production, biomass conversion to bioliquids and biofuels for heat and electricity, transport, and bio-based products, and covering all aspects of each value chain, from supply and logistics to conversion technologies, from the industrial application of research results to the impacts of biomass utilization on the environment, as well as aspects of market and trade and policy strategies, and last but not least the role of biomass as a source in integrated energy systems.
The 28th EUBCE also expanded its scope, from biomass resources and conversion to bioenergy and intermediate bioenergy carriers to integration into the bioeconomy, exploration of the role of agriculture in bioenergy production for energy and bioeconomy transition and looking at improvement of citizen awareness and engagement in support of biomass technologies.
Topics to be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Biomass feedstocks
- Agriculture
- Forestry
- Organic waste
- Bioenergy
- Energy carriers
- Biofuels
- Biorefinery
- Bioeconomy
- Climate change
- Sustainability
- Impacts
The submission of excellent-quality papers in the aforementioned areas is highly encouraged. Please note each paper should contain about 50% new content compared to papers submitted for the EUBCE conference proceedings.
