Call for Papers: Biochar Journal Special Issues

Biochar Journal announced multiple calls for papers for the year 2024, presenting opportunities to contribute to the advancement of biochar science.

In this post, IBI is thrilled to share three opportunities, each addressing critical aspects of biochar applications and its role in sustainable practices.

BRICS Biochar

DEADLINE: 31 January 2024

Mechanisms underlying the biochar roles in sustaining agriculture remain underexplored, and developing new biochar application approaches and biochar-based products is needed to better underpin green agriculture. 

This Biochar special issue specially focusing on the latest advances in biochar roles in agricultural sustainability in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries aims to promote scholarly communications among the BRICS countries and to share the relevant research achievements with the world. This will be significant for advancing biochar science and for informing biochar application for sustainable agriculture.

Biochar for remediation of emerging inorganic pollutants in the environment

DEADLINE: 30 April 2024

In the past decade, lots of attempts have been made regarding practical applications of biochar and functionalized biochar to treat soils and waters contaminated with inorganic and organic contaminants. However, impacts of biochar/functionalized biochar on the immobilization and removal of EIPs in/from soils and waters is still very lacking. 

This Biochar Special Issue intends to demonstrate the latest developments in the fabrications and applications of functionalized biochar to remediate soils and waters contaminated with EIPs towards sustainable development, which are beneficial to achieving several goals of UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Revolutionizing Environmental and Energy Sustainability with Cutting-Edge Biochar-Based Catalytic and Remediation Applications

DEADLINE: 30 August 2024

In the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Carbon Neutrality strategy, novel and sustainable shifts in biochar-based catalytic and remediation applications are urgently needed to not only provide economic and social benefits but also to mitigate environmental issues resulting from current disposal and conversion processes.

This Biochar Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in production, characterizations, and applications of biochar-based engineered materials for environmental and energy sustainability.
