This book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the
technologies and processes involved in energy generation through
waste treatment. It serves as a valuable resource, providing all
the necessary information and tools for selecting the most
sustainable waste-to-energy solution in various conditions.
Moreover, it delves into real-life examples of the circular economy
in action, offering a comprehensive overview from multiple
perspectives. It employs a range of methodologies, including
lifecycle assessment, sustainability assessment, multi-criteria
decision-making, and multi-objective optimization modes. By
combining these approaches, it offers a robust framework for
evaluating waste-to-energy options. Furthermore, the book provides
a thorough overview of waste-to-energy feedstocks, technologies,
and implementation. It goes beyond mere description, delving into
the critical factors and key enablers that influence the
sustainable development of the waste-to-energy industry. By
addressing these factors, the book facilitates the transformation
towards a circular economy, moving beyond the traditional "call to
arms" approach. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers
and policymakers in the energy sector. It equips them with the
scientific methodology and metrics necessary to develop strategies
for a viable sustainability transition. Additionally, it serves as
a key reference for students, researchers, and practitioners
seeking to deepen their knowledge of energy planning and the
current and future trends of biofuel as an alternative fuel.Â
Valorization of Microalgal Biomass and Wastewater Treatment
provides tools, techniques, data and case studies to demonstrate
the use of algal biomass in the production of valuable products
like biofuels, food and fertilizers, etc. Valorization has several
advantages over conventional bioremediation processes as it helps
reduce the costs of bioprocesses. Examples of several successfully
commercialized technologies are provided throughout the book,
giving insights into developing potential processes for
valorization of different biomasses. Wastewater treatment by
microalgae generates the biomass, which could be utilized for
developing various other products, such as fertilizers and
biofuels. This book will equip researchers and policymakers in the
energy sector with the scientific methodology and metrics needed to
develop strategies for a viable transition in the energy sector. It
will be a key resource for students, researchers and practitioners
seeking to deepen their knowledge on energy planning, wastewater
treatment and current and future trends.
This book provides a detailed coverage of how the circular economy
aims to change the paradigm in relation to the linear economy, by
limiting the environmental impact and waste of resources, as well
as increasing efficiency at all stages of the product economy. It
serves as the sole comprehensive overview of the role of biofuels
in the circular economy. It contains updated information on the
latest trends of techno-economic analysis of biofuels, economic
transitions, low-carbon economies, green circular societies, and
life cycle assessment of biofuels. This book delves deep into the
economic security of the poor as well as the nexus between biofuel
industry and global trade bodies, making it one of the few
introductory books without bias toward the contribution of biofuels
in circular economy. With its diverse contributions on themes such
as biofuels as potential alternatives to fossil fuels, biofuel
economics and policies; biofuel standards, blending, and future
insecurities; economic transitions from biomass to biofuels; and
biofuel economy, development, and food security, the book would be
a great resource for a wide and multi-disciplinary readership base
ranging from researchers to academics, policy makers, innovators,
corporates, and non-profit organizations working in this area.
Environmental Sustainability of Biofuels: Prospects and Challenges
provides a comprehensive sustainability analysis of biofuels based
on lifecycle analysis and develops various multi-dimensional
decision-making techniques for prioritizing biofuel production
technologies. Taking a transversal approach, the book combines
lifecycle sustainability assessment, lifecycle assessment,
lifecycle costing analysis, social lifecycle assessment,
sustainability metrics, triple bottom lines, operational research
methods, and supply chain designs for investigating the critical
factors and critical enablers that influence the sustainable
development of biofuel industry. This book will be a valuable
resource for students, researchers and practitioners seeking to
deepen their knowledge of biofuels as an alternative fuel. It will
equip researchers and policymakers in the energy sector with the
scientific methodology and metrics needed to develop strategies for
a viable sustainability transition.
