Handbook of Biofuels looks at the many new developments in various type of bioenergy as well as the significant constraints in their production and/or applications, and the hurdles to overcome. Beyond introducing current approaches and possible future directions of research, this title covers sources and processing of raw materials to downstream processing, constraints involved and research approaches to address and overcome these needs.   The different combinations of products from the biorefinery are included along with the material to answer key questions such as what are the optimum process conditions for conversion of different feedstocks to bioenergy? And what is the basis for choosing conversion technology and what bioenergy products would make economic sense?  With chapters on the techno-economic analysis of biofuel production and concepts and steps by step approaches in bioenergy processing the objective of this book is to present a comprehensive and all-encompassing reference about bioenergy to students, teachers, researchers and professionals. Reviews all existing and emerging technologies for production of advanced biofuelsIncludes biofuel applications with compatible global application case studiesOffers new pathways for converting biomass INDICE: A.
