Bioenergy is renewable energy derived from biological materials, known as biomass, such as plants, agricultural and forestry residues, organic waste, and certain algae and microorganisms. These materials store energy captured from sunlight, which can be released or converted into usable forms including heat, electricity, and liquid or gaseous transportation fuels through processes such as combustion, fermentation, anaerobic digestion, and gasification. Because the carbon released when biomass is used can be reabsorbed as new biomass grows, bioenergy is considered part of efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, although its overall sustainability depends on how feedstocks are sourced and processed. This page sits within a journal focused on Biotechnology and Biomedical Science, a field in which biological systems and organisms are harnessed for practical applications including energy and bioproducts. Peer-reviewed open-access research in this area includes work on the biotechnological application of cyanobacteria across agriculture, medicine, and the environment, and reviews of the industrial and biotechnological applications of algae, both of which examine organisms that are studied as feedstocks and platforms relevant to bioenergy and bioproduct development. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to bioenergy and the biotechnological use of biological resources.
