Summary
The geometric increase in human population and energy demand has called for the need of renewable energy owing to environmental issues and limited reserve of fossils fuels. Biomass energy, which is produced through organic materials that include plant materials and waste, has huge potential to be a clean, renewable and carbon-neutral energy source. With the release of this special issue on Biomass Energy Production, the journal explores the most recent developments and the challenges, as well as the directions ahead in utilizing biomass as a source of energy production. The fact that scientists, engineers, and policymakers come together creates a multidisciplinary research basis, which gives a broad perspective of the available technologies and strategies regarding the sustainable use of biomass in energy systems. This special issue will provide useful information on technological innovations, feedstock advancements, process improvement, and policy development that define the future of biomass energy.
The special issue on Biomass Energy Production is targeted to give a review of the latest research, trends, and developments in biomass conversion technologies, environmental resource management, and bioenergy systems. Original research articles, reviews and case studies are welcome on this issue and should deal with the development, optimization, catalysis, and usage of biomass-based energy systems that help to achieve energy sustainability in the world as well as mitigation of climate change.
The scope of this issue includes, but is not limited to:
· Thermochemical and biochemical reactions (e.g. pyrolysis, gasification, fermentation, torrefaction, anaerobic digestion)
· Biofuel production (bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, biohydrogen)
· Characterization and selection of Biomass feed stock (e.g. agricultural residues, forestry waste, algae, municipal solid waste)
· Waste-to-energy system and integrated biorefineries
· Nanomaterials as catalysis for biomass conversion
· Oil shale pyrolysis
· Techno-economic analysis, and environmental impact of biomass energy systems, Life cycle assessment (LCA)
· Recent development in biomass energy storing and grid integration
The special issue aims at bridging research gaps, technology development, and implementation gaps towards facilitating a worldwide transition to sustainable and renewable energy systems.
