Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Algal biomass is considered a promising feedstock in the production of sustainable bioenergy. Depending on the downstream processing technologies, algal biomass can be harnessed in the production of bio-diesel, oil, syngas or hydrogen. Algal biomass can also yield a variety of biofuels and bioproducts when processed using the concepts of biorefinery. Considering the potential of algae in carbon sequestration, bioenergy from algae often have the dual advantages of energy security, as well as, climate change mitigation. Additional benefits can also be realised by integrating algal bioenergy production with waste remediation.
Fermentation invites you to submit original scientific papers in the form of Reviews, Original Research or Short Communications for this Special Issue. The following topics will be considered:
- Improvements in algal biomass production (e.g., process and reactor design)
- Innovative downstream processing concepts (e.g., harvesting; biomass disruption, extraction of metabolites)
- Algae-based waste remediation for bioenergy production
- Valorization of algae biomass for bioenergy production
- Life-cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis of algae-based bioenergy or biorefinery

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.
