Sustainable Bioenergy and Bioproducts - Value Added Engineering Applications (Paperback, 2012 ed.)

"Sustainable Bioenergy and Bioproducts "considers the recent technological innovations and emerging concepts in bio-based civil infrastructure sustainability based on advances made in industrial biotechnology. Biomass derived energy productions are often advocated as a possible solution for our lack of a sustainable transportation fuel and the use of biofuel may partially offset energy requirements which fossil fuels currently fulfill. This complete life cycle analysis of the biofuel production process includes a comparison of possible economical and environmentally sound uses for the residue.

"Sustainable Bioenergy and Bioproducts" covers a broad and detailed range of topics including:

. production capacity of hydrocarbons in the plant kingdom, algae, and microbes;

. biomass pretreatment for biofuel production;

. microbial fuel cells;

. sustainable use of biofuel co-products;

. bioeconomy and transportation infrastructure impacts and

. assessment of environmental risks and the life cycle of biofuels.

Researchers, practitioners, undergraduate and graduate students engaged in the study of bio-renewables will find "Sustainable Bioenergy and Bioproducts" to be a useful and comprehensive research tool."
