Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of bioenergy and biofuel conversion technology will play a critical role in the production and utilization of renewable and sustainable energy sources in the future. However, the complex and heterogeneous nature of bioenergy and biofuel conversion systems makes it difficult to build models based on experience or theory for accurate predictions. Recent advancements in data science and machine learning (ML) can provide new opportunities. ML is among the fastest growing applications, with practical applications in the health industry, social media, retail sector, financial sector, travel industry, etc. More research is needed to utilize ML in bioenergy and biofuel conversion research, especially in the areas of prediction accuracy, the validity domain and model reliability. This Special Issue will provide an overview of the most recent advancements in applying ML tools to bioenergy and biofuel conversion research in diverse areas.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Machine learning in biomass characterization;
- Machine learning in biomass pretreatment;
- Machine learning in biomass thermochemical conversion;
- Machine learning in biomass biochemical conversion;
- Machine learning in bioenergy and biofuel conversion supply chain management.

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.
