Summary

The increasing global demand for clean and sustainable energy has positioned bioenergy as a key component of the future energy mix. Derived from renewable biomass resources, bioenergy offers a promising pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy security. However, improving conversion efficiency, product quality, and process sustainability remains a major scientific and engineering challenge.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in bioenergy production, with a focus on biomass conversion technologies and their engineering applications. Particular attention is given to thermochemical processes such as pyrolysis and gasification, as well as emerging hybrid and biochemical conversion routes.

The scope includes experimental studies, process optimization, kinetic and thermodynamic analyses, and innovations in reactor design and process integration. Contributions addressing waste-to-energy approaches, environmental impact, and resource efficiency are also encouraged.
