Aims and Scope
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.

Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address 'new' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.

Hello, two months after submission, the manuscript was just sent for review with the editor a couple of days ago. In the comments, it was mentioned that there are three editors because I saw three emails sent to the submission email address, which should be automatically generated by the system (with the content being which editor your manuscript has been assigned to). You can scroll down to see other authors' comments, and one of them also mentioned three editors, with the third one being the associate editor. After waiting for a period of time, it will be under review. (The above is only my personal situation)

It has been almost 2 months with the editor, and there has been no news. I have been with the editor all this time. After one month, I sent an email to the editor asking about the situation, and they mentioned that it was affected by the pandemic. After two months, I sent another email asking the editor, and they replied that it is still being initially assessed, also due to the pandemic.

If the editor sees this message, please help me understand the situation. Thank you!
