Wyman, Riverside, U.S.A.AIMS AND SCOPEBiomass and Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articlesand case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources ofenergy, food and materials.Key areas covered by the journal:Biomass:sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition.Biological Residues:wastes from agricultural production and forestry, processing industries, and municipalsources (MSW).Bioenergy Processes:fermentations. thermochemical conversions. liquid and gaseous fuels. and petrochemicalsubstitutes.Bioenergy Utilization:direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and byproduct remediation.Biomass and the Environment:carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability,and biodiversity issues.The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.The journal also features book reviews, reports on conferences, details of forthcoming meetings, letters to the editor and specialinterest topics.Cover image: Biomass resources include tree and shrub species as well as grasses and straw associated with agriculturalproduction of grains as ill the photograph.
