Description
Description
Enzymatic Treatment of Biomass for Energy: Biochemical Methods offers an in-depth exploration of biochemical conversion pathways that harness enzymatic systems to efficiently produce biofuels and biogas from lignocellulosic and agro-industrial biomass. This reference addresses key enzymatic hydrolysis mechanisms, pretreatment strategies, and process variables critical for optimizing biochemical energy generation.
The book covers enzymatic biofuel production routes including bioethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, and biogas, with emphasis on valorizing food and agro-waste streams. It also presents process intensification, enzyme immobilization, and cutting-edge tools like machine learning and genetic engineering to enhance biofuel yields and process scalability. Techno-economic and sustainability perspectives complete the comprehensive treatment of enzymatic biomass conversion. This volume is an essential resource for researchers, technologists, and energy-sector stakeholders focused on advancing sustainable enzyme-driven bioenergy solutions within a bioeconomy and circular innovation framework.
