Advances in Lignocellulosic Biofuel Production Systems

Advances in Lignocellulosic Biofuel Production Systems differs significantly from previously published books in that the current book deals with an array of topics that directly affect lignocellulosic biofuel production. It focuses on general topics such as novel pretreatment strategies, lignocellulosic biomass as a suitable feedstock for biofuels, life cycle assessment and integrated biorefineries. Furthermore, it also focuses on more advanced topics such as genetically engineered feedstocks, metabolically engineered microbes, bioreactor design and configuration, cell immobilization strategies, artificial intelligence application, and nanotechnology. Previously published books focus on either one or two of the topics that the proposed book will cover. Advances in Lignocellulosic Biofuel Production Systems will guide readers through all the aspects in lignocellulosic biofuel production rather than cover a singular topic. Provides information on the most advanced and innovative technologies for biomass valorization, including the design and configuration of bioreactors Identifies research gaps in the application of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, cell immobilization, metabolic engineering, kinetic assessment and genetically engineered feedstocks for enhancing lignocellulosic bioprocessing and biofuel yield Presents a global overview of the supply chain for biofuels production from lignocellulosic biomass Includes techno-economic analysis, environmental and socioeconomic impact assessments of the various technologies
