Current energy systems need a vast transformation to meet the key demands of the 21st century: reduced environmental impact, economic viability and efficiency. An essential part of this energy revolution is bioenergy.

The movement towards widespread implementation of first generation biofuels is still in its infancy, requiring continued evaluation and improvement to be fully realised. Problems with current bioenergy strategies, for example competition over land use for food crops, do not yet have satisfactory solutions. The second generation of biofuels, based around cellulosic ethanol, are now in development and are opening up new possibilities for future energy generation. Recent advances in genetics have pioneered research into designer fuels and sources such as algae have been revealed as untapped bioenergy resources.

As global energy requirements change and grow, it is crucial that all aspects of the bioenergy production process are streamlined and improved, from the design of more efficient biorefineries to research into biohydrogen as an energy carrier. Current energy infrastructures need to be adapted and changed to fulfil the promises of biomass for power generation.

Biofuels provides a forum for all stakeholders in the bioenergy sector, featuring review articles, original research, commentaries, news, research and development spotlights, interviews with key opinion leaders and much more, with a view to establishing an international community of bioenergy communication.

As biofuel research continues at an unprecedented rate, the development of new feedstocks and improvements in bioenergy production processes provide the key to the transformation of biomass into a global energy resource. With the twin threats of climate change and depleted fossil fuel reserves looming, it is vitally important that research communities are mobilized to fully realize the potential of bioenergy.

当前的能源系统需要进行巨大的转型才能满足 21 世纪的主要需求：减少对环境的影响、经济可行性和效率。这场能源革命的重要组成部分是生物能源。

广泛实施第一代生物燃料的运动仍处于起步阶段，需要持续评估和改进才能充分实现。当前生物能源战略的问题，例如对粮食作物土地使用的竞争，还没有令人满意的解决方案。以纤维素乙醇为基础的第二代生物燃料目前正在开发中，为未来的能源生产开辟了新的可能性。遗传学的最新进展开创了对设计燃料的研究，而藻类等来源已被揭示为未开发的生物能源。

随着全球能源需求的变化和增长，从设计更高效的生物精炼厂到研究生物氢作为能源载体，简化和改进生物能源生产过程的各个方面至关重要。当前的能源基础设施需要进行调整和改变，以实现生物质发电的承诺。

Biofuels 为生物能源领域的所有利益相关者提供了一个论坛，其中包括评论文章、原创研究、评论、新闻、研发聚焦、对主要意见领袖的采访等等，旨在建立一个国际生物能源社区交流。

随着生物燃料研究以前所未有的速度继续进行，新原料的开发和生物能源生产工艺的改进为将生物质转化为全球能源提供了关键。随着气候变化和化石燃料储备枯竭的双重威胁迫在眉睫，动员研究界充分发挥生物能源的潜力至关重要。
