About this Volume

"As Guest Editors of this Chemical Engineering Transactions Volume 50, we are very proud to introduce you the contributions of this volume.
In a future, low-carbon economy, bioenergy is expected to play a significant role; it could contribute substantially to the global energy supply and would thus be a potential cornerstone for a society independent of fossil fuels.
Regarding this long-term goal, many countries invest resources and set up ambitious strategies towards the achievement of a large share of renewable energy target. Predictions can be found that energy from biomass shall increase substantially in the next years so that biomass use, at least for power generation, could double compared to 2010. "
