Produktbeschreibung

Handbook of Biofuels Production, Second Edition, discusses advanced chemical, biochemical, and thermochemical biofuels production routes that are fast being developed to address the global increase in energy usage.

Research and development in this field is aimed at improving the quality and environmental impact of biofuels production, as well as the overall efficiency and output of biofuels production plants. The book provides a comprehensive and systematic reference on the range of biomass conversion processes and technology.

Key changes for this second edition include increased coverage of emerging feedstocks, including microalgae, more emphasis on by-product valorization for biofuels' production, additional chapters on emerging biofuel production methods, and discussion of the emissions associated with biofuel use in engines.

The editorial team is strengthened by the addition of two extra members, and a number of new contributors have been invited to work with authors from the first edition to revise existing chapters, thus offering fresh perspectives.

• Provides systematic and detailed coverage of the processes and technologies being used for biofuel production
• Discusses advanced chemical, biochemical, and thermochemical biofuels production routes that are fast being developed to address the global increase in energy usage
• Reviews the production of both first and second generation biofuels
• Addresses integrated biofuel production in biorefineries and the use of waste materials as feedstocks

Autorenporträt

Rafael Luque (PhD 2005, Universidad de Cordoba, Spain) has significant experience in biomass and waste valorization practices to materials, fuels, and chemicals as well as nanoscale chemistry, green chemistry and (photo)catalysis (600+ publications, h-index 92, >39,000 citations, 7 patents, 10 edited books). He is Editor-in-chief of Molecular Catalysis (Elsevier) and has been named 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Highly Cited Researcher (Clarivate Analytics).
Dr. Carol Sze Ki Lin is currently a Professor at the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK). Her research interests lie in technological advancement and development of circular waste-based biorefinery for sustainable production of chemicals, materials and fuels, that contributes to reduction of environmental burden of waste disposal and enhancement of resource efficiency. She has been involved in over 30 research projects as Principal Investigator, which mainly focus on development of integrated biorefinery strategies includes valorization of agricultural residues, food, beverage, plastic and textile wastes. She has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) since July 2024.
