Manuscript Topics

Biomass is referred to the animals and plants’ material including their residues and wastes. Biomass is composed of mostly carbohydrate material with a combustion heat of about 20 MJ/kg dry mass. Biomass can be converted to various suitable chemicals and fuels such as ethanol, methane, oils, and methyl esters. Biomass production and utilization have received considerable attention in recent years. The energy production from biomass is carbon neutral. In fact, biomass combustion can lessen the total amount of atmosphere CO₂ if the technology for furnace-emitted CO₂ sequestration becomes economical. Another benefit of the biomass-originated fuels is their lower sulfur content. According to the World Bioenergy Association, bioenergy has the greatest contribution compared to other renewable energy sources. Despite considerable developments in biomass energy, there are still theoretical, practical, and economic challenges with various stages of biomass energy production and utilization processes that need further research and engineering activities.

This special issue invites original contributions to all key aspects of biomass energy such as biomass production, biomass utilization, biomass processing, mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, life cycle analysis of bioenergy, modeling and optimization of biofuel/bioenergy processes, physical chemistry characteristics and behaviors of biomass, characterization of biomass, and current status and future prospects of biomass energy in various regions across the world.
