Special Issue: AI-Driven Innovations in Industrial Bioresource Engineering

2025-08-28T11:05:27+08:00

Theme:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are revolutionizing the industrial bioresource engineering landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and innovation across the entire biomass value chain. This special issue aims to capture cutting-edge research and applications at the intersection of AI and bioresource engineering, spanning smart feedstock management, advanced conversion processes, supply chain optimization, and sustainability assessment.

We invite contributions that demonstrate how AI can transform biomass cultivation, harvesting, characterization, and logistics to ensure consistent and sustainable industrial inputs. Research leveraging AI for thermochemical and biochemical conversion optimization—such as pyrolysis, gasification, fermentation, and enzymatic hydrolysis—will be emphasized, along with predictive modeling, real-time process control, and anomaly detection in bioenergy plants. The issue also welcomes works on digital twins and simulation platforms that integrate AI for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization.

In addition, the special issue seeks papers on AI-driven life cycle assessment (LCA), carbon footprint modeling, waste valorization, and techno-economic evaluations that inform policy and market adoption of AI in biomass industries. Interdisciplinary studies proposing novel AI algorithms, hybrid models, or reinforcement learning strategies tailored for high-dimensional and uncertain biomass systems are highly encouraged.

By bringing together diverse contributions, this issue will provide a holistic view of how AI can accelerate the transition toward sustainable bioresource utilization, enhance operational reliability, and integrate bioenergy systems with smart grids for a low-carbon future.

2.Your name is listed within each issue of the journal and on the journal's website so as to expand his or her publicity.

3.Getting one hard copy of the special issue without any charges after the issue has been completed successfully (upon request).

4.Freely organizing or promoting your own conferences or other academic activities by using our platform.

5.Your participation would not only enhance the academic standing of this journal but also provide you with an opportunity to stay connected with cutting-edge research in your field and collaborate with other prominent scholars.

As a member of the Editorial Board, your role would encompass:

1.Submit or recommend one to two high-quality papers for the journal.

2.Reviewing manuscripts within your area of expertise.

3.Providing constructive feedback to authors, contributing to the enhancement of the manuscript quality.

4.Promoting journal so as to improve the international visibility and influence of the journal.

5.Suggesting 'hot topics' of special issues.

6.Organizing or participating in academic activities: Such as Editorial Board Meeting

Applications are welcomed from highly qualified and well-networked academics in the field of bioresources and their industrial applications. Those interested in making an application should send an updated CV with a statement explaining why you'd like to join the board.
