Aims and scope
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.
The journal does not consider papers on the following subjects:
• Performance of fuel combustion in engines
• Technical aspects of first generation biofuels
• Soil science papers with no direct linking to bioenergy generation
• Isolation of yeast/bacterial strains
• Purely analytical biochemistry derived studies that have no direct linking to bioenergy generation
Benefits to authors
We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more. Please click here for more information on our author services.
Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support Center
This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)
Types of Contributions
These may take the form of research papers describing original studies (4000 to 6000 words), shorter technical notes and short communications (600 to 2000 words), state-of-the-art reviews, and topical reports. Society news and reviews of publications in this field are also accepted.
Authors interested in submitting a review article should send their CV, together with the outline of the proposed review paper, to the Editor in Chief (Prof Patricia Thornley, p.thornley@aston.ac.uk) for evaluation. Review Articles submitted without pre-approval from the Editor-in-Chief will be rejected.
