With a particular focus on sustainability, each section of the book – crop productivity, biofuel production based on feedstock generation, and bioenergy production technologies – addresses different aspects of the agroenergetic production chain, identifying strategies for enhanced yields and reduced risks. Sample sections explain the theoretical and economic aspects related to crop productivity, along with issues related to circular economy, lifecycle assessments, and impacts of future climate scenarios. Other chapters discuss biofuel production based on feedstock generation, describe the valorization of biomass residues, address pretreatment issues, and more.
This book will be of interest to scientists, researchers, engineers, industrial practitioners, graduate and postgraduate students, and anyone working in any agroenergy sector.
- Examines all aspects related to agroenergy, with a focus on the sustainability of the sector
- Analyzes crop productivity and explains how to improve yields for biofuel production
- Discusses bioenergy production technologies and the residue usage for further transformation
Scientists, researchers, engineers, and industrial practitioners, along with graduate and postgraduate students working on the broad sector of agroenergy
