Short description:

The global interest in biorefining technologies, especially thermochemical and biological conversion processes are gaining momentum in academic and industrial perspectives.

Long description:

Considering the deleterious impacts of fossil fuels on the environmental and natural ecosystems, it has become imperative to make a paradigm shift toward renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials. The exhaustive everyday usage of fossil fuels and processed petrochemical products are the leading causes for the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, climate changes, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, pollution of air, water, and soil as well as for the accumulation of nonbiodegradable materials in the soil and oceans. On the contrary, biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials derived from renewable wastes such as nonedible plant biomass (e.g., agricultural and forestry biomass), energy crops, microalgae, municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, and other biogenic residues seem to be carbon neutral. Therefore, the global interest in biorefining technologies, especially thermochemical and biological conversion processes, is gaining momentum in academic and industrial perspectives.



Progressive Thermochemical Biorefining Technologies offers all-inclusive coverage of the most crucial topics as follows:




  • State-of-the-art information on the production and utilization of biofuels through thermochemical biorefining technologies



  • Conversion of waste biomass through pyrolysis, liquefaction, torrefaction, carbonization, gasification, reforming, and other clean technologies



  • Waste-to-energy/chemical generation



  • Fuel upgrading technologies



  • Techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment of biorefining processes



Specifically designed to be instantly applicable, this volume serves as a reference book for undergraduate and graduate students, scientific investigators, and research scholars working in the areas relating to energy and fuels.

Table of Contents:
Thermochemical and biological conversion of biomass into biofuels and biochemicals. Solid and liquid biofuels from waste and biomass: Production, characterization and combustion. Conversion of municipal solid waste to biofuels. Conversion of plastic waste to fuels and chemicals. Torrefied solids: A material border lining biomass and biochar. Pelletization of torrefied biomass using binders. Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to syngas through co-gasification approach. Glycerol: A promising green source for chemicals and fuels. Effect of substrates on the performance of microbial fuel cell for sustainable energy production. Oil price shocks, environmental pollution, foreign direct investment and renewable energy consumption: An empirical analysis in East Asian countries.
