Sponsored by the Bioenergy and Biofuel Task Committee of the
Environmental Council of the Environmental and Water Resources
Institute of ASCE. This book is one of the first to provide
in-depth technical information on the broad topics of biofuel and
bioenergy with extensive illustrations, case studies, summary
tables, and up-to-date references. Biofuel and bioenergy produced
from biowastes and biomass is a clean energy source that can be
produced renewably. The 21 chapters of this book offer
state-of-the-art reviews, current research, and technology
developments with respect to first-, second-, and third-generation
biofuels and bioenergy. The book focuses on the
biological/biochemical pathway, as this option has been reported to
be the most cost-effective method for biofuel/bioenergy production.
The opening chapter gives an overview of the current status of
biofuel and bioenergy production. Subsequent chapters cover
biomethane production, microbial fuel cells, feedstock production,
preprocessing, biomass pretreatment, enzyme hydrolysis, and syngas
fermentation. Algal processes for biofuel production, biobutanol
production, bioreactor systems, and value-added processing of
biofuel residues are included. This book addresses life-cycle
analyses of first- and second-generation biofuels (from corn,
soybean, jatropha, and cellulosic biomass) and the emerging
applications of nanotechnology in biofuel/bioenergy production.
Each chapter builds a foundation for the one that follows, and each
chapter concludes with current research trends and further research
needs. This book will be valuable to researchers, instructors,
senior undergraduate and graduate students, decision-makers,
professionals, and others interested in the field of
biofuel/bioenergy. Praise for This Book This book attempts to
provide an in-depth compilation of relevant techincal information
on several aspects of biofuel and bioenergy production ... it can
serve as a useful quick reference for consulting engineers. Itis
also a good introductoryd resources for advanced students,
researchers, instructors, decision makers, and professionals in the
biofuel and bioenergy field. Recommended. --A.C. Sheth, emeritus,
University of Tennessee Space Institute, Choice: Current Reviews
for Academic Libraries, December 2010.
