Global Biorefinery Revolution, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book focuses on state-of-the-art approaches for biomass conversion into various products in a biorefinery. It examines biomass resources with a view to identifying, classifying, and elaborating on their global availability, supply chains, and logistics. The book also covers technologies for biomass conversion in biorefineries, the energy products of biomass processing, their properties, and prospective applications. It further explores the production of marketable industrial products from renewable biomass resources and discusses the policy and regulatory frameworks governing biorefinery businesses.

• Provides insights into the use of different biomass-based sources as feedstock and the conversion technologies used to achieve desired products.
• Incorporates regional case studies, policy frameworks, and a global perspective on biomass utilization.
• Discusses products derived from the thermochemical processing of biomass resources.
• Highlights cutting-edge technologies such as AI integration, biohydrogen production, and digital optimization.
• Emphasizes circular economy principles, carbon footprint reduction, and the social impact of biorefineries.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biotechnology, bioprocessing, and chemical engineering.
