Focus and Scope

International Journal of Sustainable Biomass and Bioenergy published periodically by International Society of Biomass and Bioenergy is a scientific journal publishing original research papers, review articles and case studies on all aspects of sustainable biomass and bioenergy research, including - but not limited to - theories, techniques, economics, management, and environmental aspects. The journal also features book reviews, reports on conferences, details of forthcoming meetings, letters to the editor and special interest topics.

Key areas covered by the journal:

1. Biomass 
1.1. Biomass processes: biological, physical and chemical pretreatment, physico-chemical and thermochemical processes for biomass, bioconversion, operation of bioreactors, optimization of the process, modeling and optimization of biomass system
1.2. Biomass feedstock production: agronomy, physiology, plant protection, plant breeding, biotechnology, molecular breeding, seed technology
1.3. Biomass utilization: biomaterials, biopolimers, biofertilizer, biopesticide, biosurfactant, food, feed and pigments, biochar, other metabolite and products
