Inhaltsangabe:

This book provides the latest research on bioethanol production from first- and second- generation feedstock. Bioethanol has emerged as one of the main alternative biofuels in recent years. The book provides a perspective on the chemistry, sources and production of bioethanol highlighting the recent developments in the field.

Through this book readers will learn basic and advanced bioethanol production technologies under one roof, including resource management and environmental and economic impacts. The topics discussed in the book will attract researchers and scholars focusing in this field as well as anyone who is interested in green and sustainable energy resources.

He has obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D in Microbiology from CCS Haryana Agricultural University Hisar .He is gold medalist and has been awarded prestigious S R Vyas gold medal of CCS Haryana Agricultural University for being best microbiological research worker. He has published more than 120 research papers, 09 review articles and14 book chapters in various journals of national and international repute. In accordance to Google Scholar, his work has received total citations of over 2,000 with an h-index of 22  and i10 index of 39  to date He has one ongoing  research project on bioethanol production from Parthenium hysterophorous  and completed three research projects awarded by different funding agencies. He has been awarded INSA Summer Research Fellowship.He also authored “Water Hyacinth:A Potential Lignocellulosic Biomass for Bioethanol” (with Springer) ,a popular text book “Introduction to Biotechnology” for B Tech Students , two edited book  “Microbiology and Biotechnology for a sustainable environment” and “Aptamers” (with Springer).He is member of various academic and Professional bodies. Broadly, Dr Aggarwal has focused his research areas around microbial biotechnology for production of different metabolites, molecular genetics and biological control agents. His lab is engaged in utilization of different industrial wastes for some value added products like and bioplastics. He and his team is also involved in exploitation of different agricultural residues of lignocellulosic nature for bioethanol production. Different medicinal plants were also screened for their antimicrobial potential and other health benefits.
