The journal provides useful information on developments and issues related to sustainable use of renewable biobased raw materials for the production of fuels and chemicals. The journal presents a mix of news, reviews, features, patent intelligence reports and recent advances. Topics covered include feedstock design and production; biomass treatment and conversion; separation and process technology;  and industrial development. The maiden journal issue, contains interesting articles on the latest technologies in the processing of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels; the challenges and  opportunities of biodiesel; and on perspectives on the “food or fuel” debate..
