Fuel Processing Technology deals with the scientific and technological aspects of processing fuels to other fuels, chemicals and by-products. Processing is considered in the sense of chemical conversions such as hydrogenation, gasification, pyrolysis and upgrading as well as physical processing by beneficiation, cleaning and removal of inorganic matter as well as sizing, crushing or screening. Coal, petroleum, oil shale, tar sands and peat are emphasized. Papers on biofuels are also encouraged. All technological aspects of processing are included such as optimization, catalysis, feeding, product separation, catalyst recovery, economics, pollution control, etc., concerned with liquefaction, gasification, combustion, solvent extraction (or solvent refining), co-processing of coal and oil, and upgrading (such as O, N, or S removal) processes.Contributions are appropriate on the chemistry and science of fuels and their products as these relate to processing of fuels, the products of processing or experience in bench scale, process development units or commercial process development.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

First to know the nature of bioenergy GCB Bioenergy exists to promote understanding of the interface between biological sciences and the production of fuels directly from plants, algae and waste. All aspects of current and potential biofuel production, from forestry, crop production, enzymatic deconstruction and microbial fuel synthesis to implications for biodiversity, ecosystem services, economics, policy and global change will be included. Articles from outside this area of interest to a biology readership are policy forum (covering legislative developments affecting biofuels), socioeconomic analyses (examining the economic viability or social acceptability of crops, crops systems and their processing, including genetically modified organisms [GMOs]), and systems analysis (examining biological developments in a whole systems context). Comparative studies of biomass projects and their mitigating effects will be important to the journal, as will plant/microbe interactions (i.e. maximizing yield while reducing/limiting nitrogen input) and genome research.
