Issue 6 of Green Chemistry is a special issue containing papers presented at the Symposium on Green Chemistry for Fuel Synthesis and Processing as a part of the 232nd National Meeting of American Chemical Society (ACS) held in San Francisco during September 10-14, 2006. 

Green chemistry for fuel synthesis and processing will remain a great challenge and also a tremendous opportunity to chemists and engineers worldwide. The papers in this themed issue present the most recent progresses in this very important field. They cover most of the important issues including alternative feedstocks, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, novel catalysts, new environmentally benign technologies, new energy materials, as well as CO2 separation and utilization. These are immediately needed for the current demanding energy and environmental situations.  

Also, several new concepts are presented, such as the development of an economically viable bio-refinery for the production of fine chemicals and sorption- enhanced steam reforming of methane for hydrogen production with CO2 capture. These new technologies will be important for future fuel syntheses and processing.  

 The guest editors for this themed issue are Chang-jun Liu, Tianjin University, China, Ben W.L. Jang, Texas A&M University- Commerce, USA, and Roger Glaeser, University of Stuttgart, Germany.
