Chemistry: Conversion of Biomass and Waste to Chemicals and Fuels

Residual biomass and waste offer sustainable alternatives to petroleum-derived products. Recent developments in reducing the use of non-renewable resources have led to significant advancements in technologies for producing biofuels and chemicals from various types of biomasses and waste. However, research in this area is rapidly evolving, necessitating a compilation of the latest breakthroughs to facilitate collaboration among researchers and engage readers. This Collection aims to present recent and emerging strategies for sustainable biomass and waste conversion processes, covering topics from chemical catalysis to biocatalysis and bioprocessing. Authors are encouraged to submit original research papers for peer review by experts in biomass and waste valorization. Additionally, review articles by experts in these fields are welcome contributions to this Collection.
