This will be a comprehensive multi-contributed reference work, with
the Editors being highly regarded alternative fuels experts from
India and Switzerland. There will be a strong orientation toward
production of biofuels covering such topics as biodiesel from
renewable sources, biofuels from biomass, vegetable based
feedstocks from biofuel production, global demand for biofuels and
economic aspects of biofuel production. Book covers the latest
advances in all product areas relative to biofuels. Discusses
coverage of public opinion related to biofuels. Chapters will be
authored by world class researchers and practitioners in various
aspects of biofuels. Provides good comprehensive coverage of
biofuels for algae. Presents extensive discussion of future
prospects in biofuels.
This book discusses the bioremediation of both solid and liquid
waste, including regional solutions for India as well as globally
relevant applications. The topics covered include pollutant
reduction through composting, solutions for petroleum refinery
waste, use of microorganisms in the bioremediation of industrial
waste and toxicity reduction, microbial fuel cells, and microbial
depolymerisation. The book also explores the biosorption of metals
and the bioremediation of leachates, especially with regard to soil
and groundwater remediation. It is a valuable resource for
researchers, professionals, and policy makers alike.

Life-Cycle Assessment of Biorefineries, the sixth and last book in
the series on biomass-biorefineries discusses the unprecedented
growth and development in the emerging concept of a global
bio-based economy in which biomass-based biorefineries have
attained center stage for the production of fuels and chemicals. It
is envisaged that by 2020 a majority of chemicals currently being
produced through a chemical route will be produced via a bio-based
route. Agro-industrial residues, municipal solid wastes, and
forestry wastes have been considered as the most significant
feedstocks for such bio-refineries. However, for the
techno-economic success of such biorefineries, it is of prime and
utmost importance to understand their lifecycle assessment for
various aspects.
Systems analysis for sustainability is an emerging discipline where
technologies, processes or policies are evaluated comprehensively
for sustainability. Trifold sustainability metrics such as
technical feasibility, economic viability and environmental impacts
are commonly used to assess sustainability. In addition to these
metrics, it is important to consider resource sustainability,
policies and social aspects for evaluating the sustainability of
any proposed alternative. Green-Economy: Systems Analysis for
Sustainability provides a theoretical background to perform such
analyses and detailed case studies. The first part of this book
introduces methods and tools to perform technical feasibility
analysis, economic viability analysis, environmental impacts
assessment, environmental risk assessment, resource sustainability
assessment, policy and social aspects of technologies, general
logic-based sustainability assessment for green products and
introduces resilience thinking. The second part of the book focuses
on case studies with an emphasis on solar energy, biofuels and
bioproducts from across the globe.
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Resource
Recovery from Wastes includes the latest and innovative research
and technological developments in the biotechnology and
bioengineering pertaining to various resource(s) recovery from
wastes. The contents are organized into two broader sections
covering resource recovery from industrial wastewater and resource
recovery from solid wastes. Sections cover energy, bioproducts,
nutrients, municipal food wastes, electronic wastes, agricultural
waste and others. The state-of-the-art situation, potential
advantages and limitations are also provided, along with strategies
to overcome limitations. This book is a useful guide into research
demands in solid and liquid waste treatment and management for
environmental/economic sustainability.
The utilization of various types of biomass residue to produce
products such as biofuels and biochemicals means biorefinery
technology using biomass residues may become a one-stop solution to
the increasing need for sustainable, non-fossil sources of energy
and chemicals. Refining Biomass Residues for Sustainable Energy and
Bioproducts: Technology, Advances, Life Cycle Assessment and
Economics focuses on the various biorefineries currently available
and discusses their uses, challenges, and future developments. This
book introduces the concept of integrated biorefinery systems, as
well as their operation and feedstock sourcing. It explores the
specificities, current developments, and potential end products of
various types of residue, from industrial and municipal to
agricultural and marine, as well as residue from food industries.
Sustainability issues are discussed at length, including life cycle
assessment, economics, and cost analysis of different biorefinery
models. In addition, a number of global case studies examine
successful experiences in different regions. This book is an ideal
resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of
bioenergy and waste management who are looking to learn about
technologies involved in residue biorefinery systems, how to reduce
their environmental impacts, and how to ensure their commercial
viability.
