Numerous efforts have been devoted to using biomass as a feedstock for the production of bio-based materials, biochemicals, and biofuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on conventional fossil resources. Conversion strategies for the production of platform chemicals, building blocks, fine chemicals, and biofuels include a wide range of processes such as chemical and mechanical pretreatment for improved carbohydrate production, fractionation of biomass into carbohydrates and lignin and their further conversions, microbial and enzymatic conversion of biomass into valuable products, and direct catalytic conversion of biomass or its components into chemicals and fuels. This Special Issue introduces recent innovative research results in the area of bioenergy and value-added chemicals from various feedstocks through chemical and biological catalytic processes.

Developing active, selective and energy-efficient heterogeneous catalysts is of paramount importance for the production of high value-added products from energy resources in a more sustainable manner. In this Special Issue of Energies, we provide a showcase of the latest progress in the development of cleaner, more efficient processes for the conversion of these feedstocks into valuable fuels, chemicals and energy. Most of the works collected are focused on the conversion of biomass which clearly reflects the paramount importance that the biorefinery concept will play in the years to come.

Technology: general issues --- biogas --- syngas production --- DRM --- Ni catalyst --- bi-metallic catalyst --- ceria-alumina --- ceria --- glycerol --- methanol --- biodiesel --- red jujube branch --- hydrothermal carbonization --- hydrochar --- energy recovery efficiency --- solid fuel --- toluene --- steam reforming --- GHSV --- S/C ratio --- coke formation --- Mo2C catalysts --- nanostructured carbon materials --- hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol --- carbothermal hydrogen reduction --- drop-in fuels --- biomass --- bio-oil --- pyrolysis --- spark engine --- gasoline --- levulinic acid --- γ-valerolactone --- hydrogen from water --- Zn: Ni --- sepiolite --- attapulgite --- Ru nanoparticles --- activated carbon --- one-pot hydrolytic hydrogenation --- cellulose conversion --- sorbitol
