Description

Sustainable and Green Catalytic Processes for Renewable Fuel Production with Net-Zero Emissions describes the significance of catalysis for the sustainable production of biofuels and biochemicals, with a particular emphasis on the state-of-the-art catalysts and catalytic processes for "green and sustainable" production of fuels and chemicals from biomass feedstock. The book also offers a multidisciplinary, thorough, and insightful analysis of the problems that must be solved in order to develop sustainable fuel technologies and processes while also reporting on recent research developments and taking pertinent sustainability, economic, energy, and social impact issues into account.

Key features

  • Analyzes the production of alternative catalysts
