Due to its potential to lessen dependency on fossil fuels and alleviate environmental effects,
biomass is increasingly being used as a feedstock for many industrial processes as well as …

The global demand for sustainable energy is increasing due to urbanization,
industrialization, population, and developmental growth. Transforming the large quantities of …

This chapter provides an overview of physical biomass pretreatment techniques. The first
step in the chain from grown biomass‐to‐energy conversion is the process of harvesting …

Biomass from plants can serve as an alternative renewable and carbon-neutral raw material
for the production of bioenergy. Low densities of 4060 kg/m3 for lignocellulosic and 200400 …

First-generation ethanol plants did not have many operational challenges as the feedstocks
(eg, corn) used for fuel production are dense, stable, storable, and shippable commodity …

The use of biomass helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and minimize negative
impacts on the environment. Biomass energy is produced using thermochemical, biological …

This book presents the most up-to-date technologies for the transformation of biomass into
valuable fuels, chemicals, materials, and products. It provides comprehensive coverage of …

Fossil fuels are being replaced with renewable energy resources (biomass and biomass
waste, solar, geothermal, wind, etc.) to ensure sustainable development, reduce the …

Even though densified products have many advantages in terms of storage, handling,
transportation, and conversion performance, existing methods to produce dense biomass …

This monograph discusses the various biomass feedstocks currently available for biofuels
production, and mechanical preprocessing technologies to reduce the feedstock variability …
