GCB生物能源是一種國際期刊，發表原始研究論文、評論文章和評論，促進對生物和環境科學之間的聯系以及直接從植物、藻類和廢物中生產燃料的理解。該雜志的范圍擴展到生物學以外的領域，包括政策論壇、社會經濟分析、技術經濟分析和系統分析。論文不需要一個全球變化的組成部分來考慮出版，這被認為是隱含的，大多數生物能源將有利于避免至少一部分化石燃料能源，否則將被使用。期刊涵蓋的主要領域：生物能源原料和生物油生產：能源作物和藻類的管理、基因組學、遺傳改良、種植、收獲、儲存、運輸、綜合物流、生產建模、組成及其改良、原料的病蟲草。關于基于生物模擬的替代能源的手稿也受到鼓勵（例如人工光合作用）。生物殘留物/副產品：來自農業生產、林業和種植園（爐灶、糖、生物塑料等）、藻類加工工業和市政來源（MSW）。生物能源與環境：生態系統服務、碳減排、土地利用變化、生命周期評估、能源與溫室氣體平衡、用水、水質、可持續性評估和生物多樣性問題。生物能源社會經濟學：檢查作物、作物系統及其加工的經濟可行性或社會可接受性，包括轉基因生物[轉基因生物]，生物能源系統對健康的影響。生物能源政策：影響生物燃料和生物能源的立法進展。生物能源系統分析：在整個系統背景下檢查生物發展。從基因發現和作物原料遺傳學到生物燃料生產操作的系統分析和全球預測，研究可能涉及各個層次的組織。它們可能是實驗性的、觀測性的或理論性的，可能涉及高等植物和藻類系統、生物模擬、生物技術、生態系統服務、環境影響和/或整個生產系統分析。該期刊不接受僅關注生物質能轉化為燃料的物理化學進展的論文，例如生物質能鍋爐的設計或生物質能轉化為燃料的熱化學轉化，除非這些是完整系統分析的一部分。

GCB Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers, review articles and commentaries that promote understanding of the interface between biological and environmental sciences and the production of fuels directly from plants, algae and waste. The scope of the journal extends to areas outside of biology to policy forum, socioeconomic analyses, technoeconomic analyses and systems analysis. Papers do not need a global change component for consideration for publication, it is viewed as implicit that most bioenergy will be beneficial in avoiding at least a part of the fossil fuel energy that would otherwise be used.Key areas covered by the journal:Bioenergy feedstock and bio-oil production: energy crops and algae their management,, genomics, genetic improvements, planting, harvesting, storage, transportation, integrated logistics, production modeling, composition and its modification, pests, diseases and weeds of feedstocks. Manuscripts concerning alternative energy based on biological mimicry are also encouraged (e.g. artificial photosynthesis).Biological Residues/Co-products: from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (stover, sugar, bio-plastics, etc.), algae processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW).Bioenergy and the Environment: ecosystem services, carbon mitigation, land use change, life cycle assessment, energy and greenhouse gas balances, water use, water quality, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.Bioenergy Socioeconomics: examining the economic viability or social acceptability of crops, crops systems and their processing, including genetically modified organisms [GMOs], health impacts of bioenergy systems.Bioenergy Policy: legislative developments affecting biofuels and bioenergy.Bioenergy Systems Analysis: examining biological developments in a whole systems context.Studies may be at all levels of organization from gene discovery and crop feedstock genetics to systems analysis of biofuel production operations and global projections. They may be experimental, observational or theoretical, and may concern higher plant and algal systems, biological mimicry, biotechnology, ecosystem services, environmental impacts and / or whole production system analysis.The journal does not accept papers that solely concern advances in the physico-chemical conversion of biomass to fuels, for example design of biomass boilers or thermochemical conversion of biomass to fuels, unless these are part of analysis of a complete system.
