Aims & Scope

Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery is a research-focused journal dedicated to the exploration of biomass conversion and biorefinery processes based on a holistic approach. Focuses on the technical, chemical, environmental, and system-related aspects of biomass conversion and biorefinery processes. Publishes content within the topical areas of Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Renewable Energy, and Environmental Protection. Emphasizes on thermo-chemical conversion, physico-chemical conversion and bio-chemical conversion (under aerobic and anaerobic conditions) as well as adequate combinations. Provides insight on all necessary steps for the provision and preparation of various types of biomass, along with possible / suitable / innovative downstream processing steps to provide marketable products. Aims for environmentally sound and economically viable provision of energy and chemical products as well as other value-added by-products.
