Global Change Biology Bioenergy

Global Change Biology Bioenergy, published by Wiley under its official title GCB Bioenergy, is a fully open access journal founded in 2009 that examines the biological and environmental interface of fuels and bioproducts made from plants, algae and waste, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 4.9.《全球变化生物学：生物能源》（Global Change Biology Bioenergy）由（Wiley）出版，官方题名为（GCB Bioenergy），2009 年创刊，为完全开放获取期刊，研究植物、藻类与废弃物制成燃料和生物产品的生物学与环境接口，2025 年期刊影响因子为 4.9。

Scope

• Feedstock and bio-oil production covers energy crops and algae, their management, genomics, genetic improvement, planting, harvesting, storage, transport and integrated logistics.原料与生物油生产涵盖能源作物与藻类，及其管理、基因组学、遗传改良、种植、收获、储存、运输与一体化物流。
• Biological residues and co-products are a named area, from agricultural and forestry stover and sugar to algae processing and municipal solid waste.生物残余物与副产品是明确领域，从农业与林业的秸秆、糖类到藻类加工与城市固体废弃物。
• Environmental work includes ecosystem services, carbon mitigation, land-use change, life-cycle assessment, energy and greenhouse-gas balances, water use and biodiversity.环境研究包括生态系统服务、碳减排、土地利用变化、生命周期评价、能量与温室气体平衡、用水与生物多样性。
• Socioeconomic analysis examines the viability and social acceptability of crops and their processing, including genetically modified organisms and health impacts.社会经济分析考察作物及其加工的经济可行性与社会可接受性，包括转基因生物与健康影响。
• Bioenergy policy and systems analysis extend the journal from legislation affecting biofuels to whole-system and technoeconomic modelling.生物能源政策与系统分析把刊物从影响生物燃料的立法，延伸到全系统与技术经济建模。
• The journal does not accept papers solely on physico-chemical conversion, such as boiler design or thermochemical routes, unless they form part of a complete system analysis.刊物不接受仅讨论物理化学转化的论文，例如锅炉设计或热化学路线，除非其构成完整系统分析的一部分。
