Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the Special Issue “Innovative Technologies for Energy and Resource Recovery from Biowaste and Wastewater”.

Smart biowaste and wastewater management reduces greenhouse gas emissions and gives us the chance to enhance the sustainability of industrial processes. Consequently, the opportunity is provided to transform this waste-streams into new resources: green energy, fertilizers, nutrients, innovative natural materials and strategic elements. Besides the “conventional/state-of-the-art” process engineering technologies, new ways of treatment are requested to minimize the environmental impact regarding a minimization of the ecological footprint. Therefore, a more sustainable approach to biowaste/wastewater treatment and management is strictly recommended and a major environmental challenge.

Contributions are invited for manuscripts addressing new and innovative findings and improvements in (industrial) biowaste/wastewater treatment, resource recovery (e.g., extraction, membrane technology, ion exchange), energy recovery, direct energy recovery (e.g., microbial fuel cells), aerobic/anaerobic digestion, co-digestion, biofuels/biogas production, biomass extraction, greenhouse gases emissions, and holistic innovative process engineering concepts.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
