From Crops and Wastes to Bioenergy: Current Status and Challenges is a comprehensive volume on all aspects of biomass utilization for bioenergy, from the fundamentals to the latest commercial and regulatory issues. Taking a holistic approach, the book examines all aspects of biomass utilization, from the technologies and processes, and the products that can be produced, to the transport, storage, and logistics. The book examines the role of biomass in the energy transition, land availability for bioenergy projects, biomass logistics and supply chain, and assesses the life cycle of bioenergy systems. There are chapters dedicated to each energy conversion route, including thermochemical, biochemical, and chemical, biofuels synthesis, hydrogen from biomass, biorefineries, electricity generation, and waste-to energy. Policy and regulatory issues are also considered. Each chapter reviews the state of the art, discusses the disruptive technological approaches, and concludes with specific recommendations on how to achieve commercial competitiveness. Case studies provide examples of real-world applications in each chapter. From Crops and Wastes to Bioenergy: Current Status and Challenges is a one-stop reference for researchers, students, and practicing engineers working in the field of bioenergy and alternative fuels, and will be of particular interest to those working on the planning, design, and operation of biomass energy conversion units for fuels, chemicals, and electricity, and in agroenergy systems planning.
