Biohydrogen Produced via Dark Fermentation: A Review

Marcela Moreira Albuquerque, Gabriela de Bona Sartor, Walter José Martínez-Burgos et al. · 14 Sep 2024

Hydrogen (H2) is a highly efficient and clean energy source with the potential for renewable energy. The production of H2 from biological routes such as biophotolysis, photofermentation, dark fermentation, and bioelectrochemical production is characterized as a renewable alternative to current production, which is mainly based on energy-intensive electrochemical and thermochemical processes and responsible for the…

Fisher–Tropsch Synthesis for Conversion of Methane into Liquid Hydrocarbons through Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) Process: A Review

Farah T. Al-Sudani, Abdullah N. Saeed, Nisreen S. Ali et al. · 4 Jan 2023

The interest in Gas-to-Liquid technology (GTL) is growing worldwide because it involves a two-step indirect conversion of natural gas to higher hydrocarbons ranging from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to paraffin wax. GTL makes it possible to obtain clean diesel, naphtha, lubes, olefins, and other industrially important organics from natural gas. This article is a brief…

Biogas and Syngas Production from Sewage Sludge: A Sustainable Source of Energy Generation

Nwabunwanne Lilian Enebe, Chinyere B. Chigor, KeChrist Obileke et al. · 29 Apr 2023

Sewage sludge to energy conversion is a sustainable waste management technique and a means of militating against the environmental concerns associated with its disposal. Amongst the various conversion technologies, anaerobic digestion and gasification have been identified as the two most promising. Therefore, this study is focused on a detailed evaluation of the anaerobic digestion and…

A Comprehensive Review of the Strategies to Improve Anaerobic Digestion: Their Mechanism and Digestion Performance

Xiaoyong Li, Zhi Wang, Yun He et al. · 15 Apr 2024

Low and unstable digestion performance is a challenging issue for anaerobic digestion, which prompts researchers to develop new strategies. In addition to traditional approaches such as co-digestion, pre-treatment, and recirculation, some emerging strategies, namely additive processes and microaeration, have also been recognized and developed in recent years. Many studies have evaluated the effect of these…

Methane template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Methane format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Methane template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Methane use?
Methane uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Methane 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Methane?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Methane document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Methane template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Methane format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Methane?
Methane - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Methane PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Methane template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Methane template cost?
