Biofuel is currently a major trend due to the existing environmental crises as well as global energy challenges. Developing renewable and sustainable fuels from biomass and solid wastes and minimizing the formation of pollutants during the conversion process are currently of a great deal of academic and industrial importance and draws widespread attention.
In addition, studies on the formation and transformation of pollutants such as heavy metals, chlorine, and Sulphur species during the process are usually conducted by researchers in the discipline of environmental engineering and are less known to bioenergy researchers. In this regard, this book serves as a bridge between relevant disciplines and present a comprehensive picture of the whole research field.
