Considering the deleterious impacts of fossil fuels on the
environmental and natural ecosystems, it has become imperative to
make a paradigm shift toward renewable fuels, chemicals, and
materials. The exhaustive everyday usage of fossil fuels and
processed petrochemical products are the leading causes for the
increase in greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, climate
changes, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, pollution of air, water,
and soil as well as for the accumulation of nonbiodegradable
materials in the soil and oceans. On the contrary, biofuels,
biochemicals, and biomaterials derived from renewable wastes such
as nonedible plant biomass (e.g., agricultural and forestry
biomass), energy crops, microalgae, municipal solid waste, sewage
sludge, and other biogenic residues seem to be carbon neutral.
Therefore, the global interest in biorefining technologies,
especially thermochemical and biological conversion processes, is
gaining momentum in academic and industrial perspectives.
Progressive Thermochemical Biorefining Technologies offers
all-inclusive coverage of the most crucial topics as follows:
State-of-the-art information on the production and utilization of
biofuels through thermochemical biorefining technologies Conversion
of waste biomass through pyrolysis, liquefaction, torrefaction,
carbonization, gasification, reforming, and other clean
technologies Waste-to-energy/chemical generation Fuel upgrading
technologies Techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment of
biorefining processes Specifically designed to be instantly
applicable, this volume serves as a reference book for
undergraduate and graduate students, scientific investigators, and
research scholars working in the areas relating to energy and
fuels.
