Aims and scope
Waste & Biomass Valorization addresses the Conversion of Biomass, Co-Products, Residues, and Waste into Energy and Added-Value Materials within a global move towards a greener, more resource-efficient, and climate-resilient economy. Waste and Biomass Valorization intends to play a meaningful role in the Energy and Environmental Transitions toward Sustainable Development in line with the strong commitment to supporting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

High-quality research articles, reviews, and case studies (both pilot-plant and full-scale) on the following topics will be considered for review and publication:

Valorization of biomass, co-products, residues, and waste
municipal, wastewater, industrial, wood, paper, sludge, refuse-derived fuel/oil, agricultural, forest, electronic, construction and demolition, plastics, thermal processes product, and mining among others.

• to produce energy and fuels
alcohols, hydrogen, biogas, biomethane, biofuels, and synthetic fuels

• to produce sustainable added-value materials
secondary materials such as sorbents, enzymes, lipids, proteins, biopolymers and polymers, specialty products, recycled materials, sustainable construction materials, capacitors, supercapacitors, and other advanced carbon materials (carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene), materials for CO2, hydrogen, and energy storage

• to upgrade clean gas
clean gas conversion to energy, added value products, and specialty products

• to convert CO2 into fuel and chemicals; and promote CO2 capture, utilization, sequestration and storage
• to low CO2 and sustainable construction and other civil engineering materials

The following key issues are also covered in the journal:
• characterization of resources and feedstocks, fuels and materials produced, development of characterization techniques, and development of novel processes and concept
• biorefinery
• power generation
• emissions reduction
• decarbonization of energy (zero-carbon energy), life cycle assessment, and circular economy.
