For the power industry, biomass is just a modern name for the
ancient material of plant origin that was converted into energy in
the simple technology of burning. This book discusses biomass as a
raw material for the production of liquid or gaseous biofuels and
valuable chemicals. Such biomass processing should be beneficial
from both economic and environmental points of view. Classic
technologies of biogas production are still being improved, but
they always generate waste that differs in terms of chemical
parameters, depending on the feedstock digested. These parameters
dictate the manner of their final managing. Various biotechnologies
allow the use of the biomass of hydrobionts, such as cyanobacteria
as a raw substance for obtaining different products, e.g.
hyaluronic acid, biopolymers, fertilizers, or even drugs. Animal
fats or algae can be used to produce biodiesel which in turn is
used in environmentally friendly urban transport. Even municipal
solid waste can be a source of useful biomass. The authors show how
its volume and composition can be predicted, by which form of
processing it can be converted into valuable products, as well as
in which ways its negative environmental impact can be limited.
