Biogas and Biochemical Production from Anaerobic Digestion

Dear Colleagues,

The growing attention regarding a more sustainable future, and thus into energy-recovery and waste-reduction technologies, has intensified the interest in processes that allow the exploitation of waste and biomasses to generate energy, such as anaerobic digestion (AD). Improving the efficiency of this industrial application is crucial for increasing methane production, and is essential from an economic, environmental, and safety point of view. Countless biochemical reactions lead to substrate degradation and biogas development. Despite the fact that AD has been used for many years, its study from an engineering perspective is quite recent. For these reasons, we have decided to publish this Special Issue, titled “Biogas and Biochemical Production from Anaerobic Digestion”, including all the recent research findings and developments in this field. The subject of this Special Issue includes those works that use agri-food wastes and waste in general as raw material for biogas production through anaerobic digestion, aiming to bring together research works falling under, yet not limited to, the following topics: anaerobic digestion, biomethane, and biochemical production from biogas.

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. Fermentation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
