This book provides an updated knowledge on the biohydrogen
production from industrial and municipal organic waste materials.
Microbes are increasingly being included in the hydrogen based
biofuel production and this book covers the processes and protocols
for biohydrogen production. There is an urgent need of alternative
energy research to fulfill the global energy demand. Biohydrogen is
a promising source of sustainable and clean energy as it harnessed
by biological means. Biohydrogen may be produced by utilizing
different waste materials as a substrate, and by optimization
of various parameters of bioreactors such as temperature, pH,
partial pressure etc. The waste materials used in hydrogen
production are categorized as agricultural waste, municipal waste,
industrial waste, and other hazardous wastes. Biohydrogen
production from wastes materials opened a new opportunity for the
widespread use of everlasting renewable energy source. This book is
useful for professional scientists, academicians, biotechnologist
and environmentalist along with research scholars in various
biotechnology and bioenergy industries by addressing the latest
research going on in the field of renewal bioenergy production from
waste and their global impact on the environment.
Valorization of Biomass to Bioproducts: Organic Acids and Biofuels
focuses on recent technological developments and related challenges
surrounding the bioprocessing of biomass for important organic
acids and biofuels (waste to energy) for industrial applications.
Chapters present information on biomass as a source for
fermentation to produce important organic acids and next generation
biofuels. Additionally, the book includes chapters on the role of
synthetic/systems biology and metabolic engineering in producing
these valuable biomolecules of industrial interest.

Cellulase is a key enzyme of industrial interest and plays a
crucial role in the hydrolysis of cellulose, a prime component of
plant cell walls. Cellulase covers a broad area in the global
market of industrially important enzymes and it is considered as
the third largest industrial enzyme globally. Additionally,
cellulase contributes about 20% of the total enzyme market globally
because of its massive demand in various industries such as in
biofuel production, pulp, paper, textile, food, and beverages, as
well as in detergent industries. Among these, the demand of
cellulase may become frequently selected in the commercial
production of biofuels in the future and thus will further increase
demand of cellulase in the biofuel industry. Because biofuel
production is still not realized in a cost-effective, practical
implementation due to its high cost (the higher cost of biofuels is
due to higher production costs of enzymes), there is a need to
introduce these types of approaches, which will help to lower the
cost of enzyme production for developing overall economic biofuel
production.
New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and
Bioengineering: From Cellulose to Cellulase: Strategies to Improve
Biofuel Production outlines new methods for the industrial
production of the cellulose enzyme. The book compares the various
processes for the production of biofuels, including the cost of
cellulose production and availability. Biofuels are considered to
be the main alternatives to fossil fuels in reducing environmental
pollution and climate change. Currently, all existing biofuel
production is suffering because of the high costs of production
processes. As a result, cost effective practical implementation is
needed to make this a viable energy alternative.
This volume focuses on technological advances relevant to
establishing biofuels as a viable alternative to fossil fuels by
overcoming current limitations. The progressive depletion of fossil
fuels due to their large-scale utilization and their environmental
consequences, notably global warming, increase the need for
sustainable and cleaner energy options. Renewable biofuels - like
biohydrogen, biomethane, biogas, ethanol and butenol - represent
attractive energy sources to meet the growing global demand, thanks
to sustainable and cost-efficient production approaches based on
cellulosic biomass. Currently, the commercialization of these
technologies is hindered by technical and economic limitations,
such as biomass complexity and pre-treatment, enzyme hydrolysis,
production efficiency as well as storage and cost. As such, this
book presents economically viable and sustainable approaches to
improve existing biofuel technologies and appeals to anyone with an
interest in biofuels as renewable energy options and their
practical implementation.
