With an emphasis on developing economies, the book explains how to develop sustainable methods for the collection, sorting, storage, and processing of waste streams for the production of fuels and platform chemicals. The first four chapters introduce the theoretical framework for the analysis of the various waste streams for bioenergy production, with an emphasis in developing countries.
These introductory chapters are followed by a thorough examination of specific waste streams for bioenergy production, addressing every known waste feedstock in detail. Subsequent chapters explain biorefinery concepts for these waste feedstocks, addressing different biorefinery approaches, as well as considering important topics like pretreatment, microorganisms, and value-added products in dedicated chapters. Finally, the book discusses the policies, economics, and strategies for waste management and waste valorization.
- Analyzes the extent of adoption and the prospects of biorefinery in developing countries and emerging economies
- Bridges the gap between theoretical concepts of biorefinery and end-users working in developing countries
- Integrates the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy
Students and researchers working across the broad field of bioenergy, including interdisciplinary researchers in subject areas such as Agriculture, Biology, Bioresources, Economics, Energy, Climate change, or Sustainability, Industry scientists and engineers involved in bioenergy, as well as policymakers
