Biomass Processing Technologies for Sustainable Energy and Material Production

This book summarizes the state-of-the-art approaches and novel technologies developed for sustainable production of energy, structural and functional materials. Each chapter includes a detailed review of current aspects pertaining to the energy and material system supported by sustainability assessment tools. It covers sustainable utilization of biomass for energy in form of green hydrogen, bio-oil, biodiesel, algal fuel, biogas, bioethanol and electrochemical conversion using microbial fuel cell and materials in form of bio adsorbents and so forth.

Presents up-to-date review of biomass processing technologies Offers insights into use of sustainability assessment tools for design of material and energy systems Highlights the sustainable production of energy from biomass including algae and fungal processing Reviews pertinent sustainability assessment tools Covers production of sustainable structural and functional material from biomass

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical engineering, bioenergy, bioprocessing, and green technology.
