Advances in Biofuels Production, Optimization and Applications

Advances in Biofuels Production, Optimization and Applications discusses the optimization of chemical, biochemical, thermochemical and hydrothermal processes for biofuels. With a strong focus on applications, the book bridges the gap between technological developments and prospects of commercialization. Initial chapters review efficient hydrolysis and biofuel and bioalcohol production before reviewing key processes such as biomass gasification, syngas conversion to biofuel, and pyrolysis techniques. Several biofuel applications are presented, including those within the transport industry as well as domestic and industrial boilers. The book then finishes with a review of circular economy, biofuel policies and ethical considerations. This is a systematic reference on the range of biomass conversion processes and technologies in biofuels production. It is an essential read for students, researchers and engineers interested in renewable energy, biotechnology, biofuels production and chemical engineering. Provides recent advances in the processes and technologies currently used for biofuel production Addresses the technology transfer of integrated biofuel upgrading and production at large scale Highlights policy and economics of biofuel production, biofuel value chains, and how to accomplish cost-competitive results and sustainable development Examines the recent development in engines and boilers technologies for the eco-friendly applications of these biofuels in the industry and transport sectors INDICE: 1.
