Biofuels and Biorefining: Volume One: Current Technologies for Biomass Conversion considers the conventional processes for biofuels and biomass-derived products in single and biorefinery schemes. Sections address the fundamentals of the transformation of biomass into fuels and products, including a discussion of current and future scenarios, potential raw materials that can be used, the main processing technologies and their commercial potential, and a description of the concept of biorefinery and the opportunities offered by this approach. Each chapter is supported by industry case studies covering the development of each product, fuel type, and biorefinery.
This book provides an integrated approach to biofuels production and process intensification that will be useful to researchers involved in all aspects of bioenergy, particularly those interested in cost reduction, environmental impact and enhanced production.
- Includes all fundamental concepts related to the production of biofuels and value-added products from biomass
- Provides a comprehensive biorefinery scheme that addresses all biofuel types (liquid, solid and gaseous) and related bio-based products
- Presents state-of-the-art information on production processes
- Covers all required information for the modeling and economical assessment of biofuels production in single process or under a biorefinery scheme
Researchers and industry professionals involved in all aspects of bioenergy, particularly those interested in cost reduction, environmental impact, and enhanced production. Environmental and agricultural scientists, chemical engineers, biochemists, biotechnologists, and economists interested in bioenergy and biofuels. Students looking for a comprehensive guide to biofuels
