Aims and Scope
Journal of Biofuels and Bioenergy, a peer-reviewed half-yearly journal, provides the recent advances and updated knowledge in biofuels and bioenergy. The journal will cover original research papers, short communications, review articles and case studies on different aspects of bioenergy:
The key areas covered by the journal are as follows:
Biofuels policy and strategies
Biomass resource assessment: feedstock availability, life cycle assessment, mapping and GIS systems, area selection
Bioenergy production, optimization and planning
Supply chain management: biomass collection, transportation & storage
Biomass characterization and pretreatment
Solid biomass: briquetting, pelleting and other innovative technology
Biomass combustion, gasification, pyrolysis and biomass based power generation
Microbial conversion processes: bioethanol, biobutanol, biohydrogen, biogas
Genetic modifications for improvement in biofuels
Enzymatic processes
Algal and marine biomass: algal cultivation, algal harvesting and extraction systems, products from algal refining
Biodiesel: production, purification, engine testing, techno-economic evaluation, value-added by-products
Hydrocracking for green diesel production
Catalysis for biofuels
Biomass based value-added products
Integrated biorefineries
Electrochemical processes: hydrogen fuel cells, microbial fuel cells, methanol fuel cells, alkaline fuel cell
Techno-economic analysis and modeling of bioenergy processes, systems and sustainable development
Conversion technologies for municipal and industrial wastes to energy and value-added products
Hybrid/integrated and new energy systems
Climate change: Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
