Sections explore the current biofuels industry, addressing pretreatment, feedstocks, and conversion processes, review different pathways to produce biofuels, including bioethanol, biochar, biogas/bio-hydrogen, bio-oil, biodiesel, and many others, and finally, present policy regulation and standardization on biofuel production, with a focus on applications. Case studies are provided alongside reviews from academic and industry perspectives, discussing economics and lifecycle assessments (LCA) of biofuel production, as well as analyses of supply chains.
Offering a comprehensive and timely overview, this book provides an ideal reference for researchers and practitioners working in bioenergy and renewable energy, but it will also be of interest to chemists, bioengineers, chemical engineers, and the agricultural and petrochemical industries.
- Helps readers gain academic and industry perspectives on biofuel production with the inclusion of lab-based experimentation and informative case studies
- Contains an exhaustive analysis of biomass conversion technologies for biofuels and biochemicals
- Provides a clear and concise text that avoids the overuse of jargon and technical language
Researchers interested in Bioenergy and Renewable Energy. Chemists, bioengineers, chemical engineers, and other bioenergy professionals working in the area of biofuels and the renewable energy industry, as well as aspects of the agricultural and petrochemical industries
