Biomass & Bioenergy

Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials. The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy. Key areas covered by the journal: • Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation. • Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal. • Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes • Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation • Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.

《Biomass & Bioenergy》是一份国际期刊，发表关于生物资源、化学和生物过程以及用于新的可再生能源和材料的生物质产品的原创研究论文和简短的交流、评论文章和案例研究。该杂志的范围延伸到生物质和生物能源的环境、管理和经济方面。涵盖的关键领域包括： • 生物质：来源、能源作物生产过程、遗传改良、成分。 请注意，对这些生物质主题的研究必须与生物能源生产直接相关。 • 生物残留物：来自农业生产、林业和种植园（棕榈、糖等）、加工业和市政来源（MSW）的残留物/剩余物。 欢迎通过创新工艺/技术新颖性和/或考虑原料/系统可持续性（或不可持续性）来利用生物质残留物的论文。 然而，与生物能源无关的废物处理过程和污染控制或缓解并不在该期刊的范围内，因为它们更适合环境领域的出版物。 描述传统废物流（即现有文献中充分描述）的论文如果没有从经验上解决过程中的“新”附加值，则不适合提交给期刊。 • 生物能源过程：发酵、热化学转化、液体和气体燃料以及石化替代品。 • 生物能源利用：直接燃烧、气化、发电、化学过程和副产品修复。 • 生物质与环境：碳循环、生物能源系统的净能源效率、可持续性评估和生物多样性问题。
