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.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

生物质能与生物能是一种国际性期刊，发表原始研究论文和简短的通讯，综述有关生物资源、化学和生物过程以及新可再生能源和材料的生物质能产品的文章和案例研究。该杂志的范围扩展到生物量和生物能源的环境、管理和经济方面。期刊涵盖的主要领域：?生物量：来源、能源作物生产过程、遗传改良、成分。请注意，对这些生物量课题的研究必须直接与生物能源的产生联系在一起。?生物残留物：来自农业生产、林业和种植园（棕榈、糖等）、加工工业和市政来源（MSW）的残留物/残留物。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）使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不在本杂志的范围内，因为它们更适合于环境领域的出版物。描述传统废物流（即现有文献中描述得很好）的论文不适合提交给期刊。?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、化学工艺和副产品修复。?生物量和环境：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。期刊不考虑关于以下主题的论文：?发动机燃料燃烧性能?第一代生物燃料的技术方面?土壤科学论文与生物能源发电没有直接联系?分离酵母/细菌菌株?纯分析性生物化学衍生研究，与生物能源产生没有直接联系。
