Inhaltsangabe

Value-Chain of Biofuels: Fundamentals, Technology, and Standardization presents the fundamental aspects of biofuel production, from biomass conversion technologies and biofuels' end products to related policy regulation and standardization. Sections explore the current biofuels industry, addressing pretreatment, feedstocks, and conversion processes, review different pathways to produce biofuels, including bioethanol, biochar, biogas/bio-hydrogen, bio-oil, biodiesel, and many others, and finally, present policy regulation and standardization on biofuel production, with a focus on applications. Case studies are provided alongside reviews from academic and industry perspectives, discussing economics and lifecycle assessments (LCA) of biofuel production, as well as analyses of supply chains.

Offering a comprehensive and timely overview, this book provides an ideal reference for researchers and practitioners working in bioenergy and renewable energy, but it will also be of interest to chemists, bioengineers, chemical engineers, and the agricultural and petrochemical industries.

• Helps readers gain academic and industry perspectives on biofuel production with the inclusion of lab-based experimentation and informative case studies
• Contains an exhaustive analysis of biomass conversion technologies for biofuels and biochemicals
• Provides a clear and concise text that avoids the overuse of jargon and technical language

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Value-Chain of Biofuels: Fundamentals, Technology, and Standardization presents the fundamental aspects of biofuel production, from biomass conversion technologies and biofuels’ end products to related policy regulation and standardization. Divided into three parts, Part One explores the current state of the biofuels industry, addressing pretreatment, feedstocks, and the conversion processes for all common biomass types to biofuel. Part Two reviews the different pathways to produce biofuels, including bioethanol, biochar, biogas/bio-hydrogen, bio-oil, biodiesel, and many others. Finally, Part Three presents policy regulation and standardization on biofuel production, with a focus on application. Case studies are provided alongside reviews from academic and industry perspectives, discussing economics and life cycle assessment (LCA) of biofuel production, as well as analysis of biomass/biofuel supply chains.

Offering a comprehensive and timely overview, Value-Chain of Biofuels: Fundamentals, Technology, and Standardization provides an ideal reference for researchers and practitioners working in bioenergy and renewable energy, and will also be of interest to chemists, bioengineers, chemical engineers, and the agricultural and petrochemical industries.
