About this Research Topic
Biomass technology leverages organic materials like plant and animal waste to catalyze energy production and create innovative materials. As the urgency for sustainable practices heightens, recent studies are focusing on developing catalysts, adsorbents, and composites from biomass to achieve better process efficiencies and create sustainable options that could reduce environmental impacts significantly. Carbon-based catalysts from biomass can enhance chemical reactions, improving the efficiency of pollutant adsorption and offering greener alternatives to traditional materials. Despite these advancements, challenges such as optimizing conversion processes and expanding the lifecycle assessments of bio-based products remain, indicating a need for focused research to harness the full potential of biomass technologies in managing environmental contaminants.
This Research Topic aims to explore novel eco-friendly technologies that utilize carbon materials derived from biomass to manage environmental contaminants efficiently. It seeks to answer critical questions about the scalability of biomass-derived technologies and their real-world applications in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a circular economy. Additionally, the goal is to assess the versatility of carbon materials in various environmental scenarios ranging from waste management to energy production while ensuring sustainability.
To gather further insights within the boundaries of biomass conversion technologies and environmental sustainability, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- **Energy Production:** Development and optimization of biomass conversion processes; Innovations in bioenergy systems; Life-cycle assessment and environmental impact analysis.
- **Catalysts:** Novel design and synthesis techniques; Applications in biofuel production, chemical synthesis, and environmental remediation.
