Issue Information

Aims and ScopeGCB 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.Studies may be at all levels of organization from gene discovery and enzyme design to crop feedstock genetics and systems analysis of biofuel production operations.They may be experimental, observational or theoretical, and may concern higher plant and algal systems, biological mimicry, enzymes, biotechnology, fuel synthesis, ecosystem services, environmental impacts and/or whole production system analysis.GCB Bioenergy will concentrate on primary research articles, but operate a flexible policy regarding other article types, including Platforms, Technical Papers, Mini-Reviews and Opinion Papers.
