Biomass and Biofuels

Focusing on the key challenges that still impede the realization of the billion-ton renewable fuels and energy products vision, this book provides comprehensive information on sustainable production of biomass feedstock, supply chain management of feedstocks to the biorefinery site, advanced conversion processes, and catalysts/biocatalysts for production of fuels and chemicals using conventional and integrated technologies. It also presents detailed coverage of downstream/recovery operations, for a refinery processing lignocellulosic and algal biomass resources.
