BioEnergy Research fills a void in the rapidly growing area of research related to biomass (terrestrial plant and algal), biofuels, bioenergy, biochemicals, and biomaterials. It brings together a unique and broad combination of disciplines focused on the science, engineering and cost associated with the production of biological feedstocks and their utilization. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including peer-reviewed scientific original research, short communications, reviews, perspectives and commentary, industry news, and government policy updates.

BioEnergy Research Journal focuses on the following areas:
 
Genetic improvement and molecular genetics of feedstocks
Feedstock development using transgenics
Plant cell wall biosynthesis and chemical characterization of biomass
Biomass pretreatment and fractionation
Bioprocess integration (engineering/technological aspects), enzyme technology, microbial conversion (fermentation)
Management of biomass and bioenergy
Bioenergy, climate change, and sustainability aspects of bioenergy
Life cycle assessment, environmental and supply chain impact analysis
Economics and policy, empirical analyses and modeling, technoeconomic analyses
Biodiesel and chemicals derived from oil crops and algae
Thermochemical processes
Anaerobic digestion

BioEnergy Research is not an appropriate platform for manuscripts that focus on fossil fuels or chemicals derived from fossil fuels or studies focused solely on the combustion properties of fuels.
