Biomass & Bioenergy

ISSN: 0961-9534
5 Year impact factor: 5.2
Impact factor: 5.8

Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials. The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.Key areas covered by the journal: • Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation. • Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address 'new' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal. • Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes. • Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation. • Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.The journal does not consider papers on the following subjects: • Performance of fuel combustion in engines. • Technical aspects of first generation biofuels. • Soil science papers with no direct linking to bioenergy generation. • Isolation of yeast/bacterial strains. • Purely analytical biochemistry derived studies that have no direct linking to bioenergy generation.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

Energy is an international, multi-disciplinary journal in energy engineering and research, and a flagship journal in the Energy area. The journal aims to be a leading peer-reviewed platform and an authoritative source of information for analyses, reviews and evaluations related to energy. The journal covers research in mechanical engineering and thermal sciences, with a strong focus on thermal energy and integrated energy systems, energy planning and energy management. The journal also welcomes papers on related topics such as energy conservation, energy efficiency, biomass and bioenergy, renewable energy, energy storage, energy in buildings, and on economic and policy issues, provided such topics are within the context of the broader multi-disciplinary scope of Energy. However, any pure transfer or process level energy research may not be suitable for the scope of this journal, such as combustion, fuels, heat transfer, fluid flow, wind turbine, hydro pump, and energy resources mining etc.- We give priority to thermal energy papers and not papers with a strong focus on combustion, fuels, heat transfer, fluid flow and the like. The papers on specific fossil fuel mining techniques and methods, fuels characterization and fuels chemical treatment are not within the scope of Energy. - We give priority to integrated energy systems, energy planning and energy management and not papers with a strong focus on single technologies such as wind turbines, PV materials, solar thermal coatings, biomass chemical reactions and their related heat and mass transfer process etc. Especially for wind energy, we refer to Wind Energy and Engineering Research - the sister journal of Energy. - We give priority to sustainable energy related to green transition, we request papers based on thermal engineering, particularly fossil or decarbonized fuel-related technologies, and discuss how these technologies fit into the green transformation. Papers on mining, new designs and retrofits of fuel-fired power plants are not in the scope of the Journal.- We give priority to integrated cross-sectoral smart energy systems and not to single-sector systems with a sole focus on the electricity sector. However, electrified heating and cooling systems and heat pumps are in the scope of Energy. For papers on pure electric energy, we give priority to Smart Energy - the sister journal of Energy. - We give priority to thermal management technology for electronic devices, electric batteries, photovoltaics, data centers, and even electric power plants, not a pure heat transfer for cooling. These topics are in the scope of specialized heat transfer and refrigeration journals, and not in the scope of Energy. - We give priority to energy storage systems, especially those that can be applied at energy system level, such as electric battery and thermal battery, not to materials level research or heat exchanger level research. We are interested in energy and AI research.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy).

5 Year impact factor: 4.7
Impact factor: 4.4

Published on behalf of the International Energy Initiative, Energy for Sustainable Development is a journal to promote – initiate, strengthen and advance – the efficient and clean production and use of energy for sustainable development of developing nations (i.e. any country outside the high income category as per the World Bank definition). It publishes original, applied, interdisciplinary research, commentaries and reviews about energy as an instrument of sustainable development and focuses on energy systems, clean resources, efficient technologies, end uses, policies and governance arrangements. It is the journal for decision makers, managers, consultants, policy makers, planners and researchers in both government and non-government organizations. Accordingly, the Editorial Board does not consider highly specialized works in a specific discipline appropriate for this journal.The Editorial Board of ESD views energy, not as an end, but as an instrument of sustainable development. The Editorial Board particularly wishes to encourage papers that are (1) in line with the scope outlined above, (2) likely to be of interest to more than one professional group, and (3) contributing significantly to knowledge through analysis, synthesis and critical review and evaluation. The board also welcomes papers on North-South, South-South or multilateral cooperation in energy technology development, governance, training and applications. The Board considers the publication of highly specialized work more appropriate to other professional journals. The criteria for acceptance of the papers in Energy for Sustainable Development are 1) relevance of the work and breadth of interest; 2) originality and contribution to knowledge; 3) methodological robustness; 4) quality of analysis and 5) the quality of presentation, irrespective of the type of paper (full length research papers, short communications or review articles).Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
