Waste Biorefinery: Potential and Perspectives offers data-based
information on the most cutting-edge processes for the utilisation
of biogenic waste to produce biofuels, energy products, and
biochemicals - a critical aspect of biorefinery. The book explores
recent developments in biochemical and thermo-chemical methods of
conversion and the potential generated by different kinds of
biomass in more decentralized biorefineries. Additionally, the book
discusses the move from 200 years of raw fossil materials to
renewable resources and how this shift is accompanied by
fundamental changes in industrial manufacturing technologies (from
chemistry to biochemistry) and in logistics and manufacturing
concepts (from petrochemical refineries to biorefineries). Waste
Biorefinery: Potential and Perspectives designs concepts that
enable modern biorefineries to utilize all types of biogenic
wastes, and to integrate processes that convert byproduct streams
to high-value products, achieving higher cost benefits. This book
is an essential resource for researchers and students studying
biomass, biorefineries, and biofuels/products/processes, as well as
chemists, biochemical/chemical engineers, microbiologists, and
biotechnologists working in industries and government agencies.
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.
Advances in Bioenergy, Volume Six in this ongoing series,
highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume
presenting interesting chapters written by an international board
of authors. New sections in this release include Microalgae
wastewater treatment and biomass utilization, Lipid Metabolism and
Metabolic Engineering of Eukaryotic Microalgae, Aquaculture,
Microalgae Cultivation, Life Cycle Assessment, Integration of algae
cultivation with anaerobic digestion, Bioenergy and Bioproducts
from Industry Hemp, Integration of algae to anaerobic digestion for
biofuel and bioenergy production, and more.
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering:
Sustainable Bioresources for the Emerging Bioeconomy outlines
recent advances in bioenergy, biorefinery and the bioeconomy, an
essential element for a 21st century bio-based society. The book
provides information on biomass and various conversion technologies
with different parameters that affect the conversion process.
Sections cover different bioproducts, biorefinery systems, energy
and greenhouse gas emission balances of bioenergy and biorefinery,
and environmental and economic footprints of bioeconomy. Finally,
different strategies adopted by developed and developing countries
for the promotion and implementation of a bioeconomy concept for a
bio-based society are systematically covered. The book provides
comprehensive information starting from early progress to the
latest trends on bioenergy, biorefinery and bioeconomy with special
reference to the developed and the developing countries and the
linkage between bioeconomy and climate change mitigation in simple
scientific language to appeal to a wider audience.
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.

Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals: Biofuels: Alternative Feedstocks
and Conversion Processes for the Production of Liquid and Gaseous
Biofuels, Second Edition, provides general information, basic data
and knowledge on one of the most promising renewable energy
sources-liquid and gaseous biofuels-and their production and
application. The book delineates green technologies for abating
environmental crisis and enabling the transformation into a
sustainable future. It provides date-based scientific information
on the most advanced and innovative technology on biofuels, as well
as the process scale-up and commercialization of various liquid and
gaseous biofuels, detailing the functional mechanisms involved,
various operational configurations, influencing factors and
integration strategies. All chapters have been updated, with new
chapters covering topics of current interest, including
sustainability and biohydrogen.
Advances in Bioenergy, Volume Five, part of a new series that
provides both principles and recent developments in various kinds
of bioenergy technologies, includes the latest on feedstock
development, conversion technologies, energy and economics and
environmental analysis. This series uniquely provides the
fundamentals of these technologies, along with reviews that will be
invaluable for students. Chapters in this new release cover Medium
Chain Fatty Acids Production by Microbial Chain Elongation: Recent
Advances, Two-stage AD for bioenergy and biochemical production
from industrial and agricultural wastewater, and more.
