Sugarcane Biorefinery, Technology and Perspectives

Sugarcane Biorefinery, Technology and Perspectives provides a current view of the global scenario of sugarcane biorefinery from a chemical, energy, and sustainability perspective. The book explores the different biorefinery platforms that can be used to convert sugarcane to new high-value products. It also addresses one of today's most controversial issues involving energy cane: the dilemma of sugar cane vs. food vs. environment. Faced with today's environmental and socioeconomic problems, with great social concerns such as global warming and gradual reduction of fossil fuels, sugarcane presents significant potential solutions because of its high productive capacity of biomass and chemical and energetic composition. Focusing on the chemical composition of sugarcane, and the production and processes that optimize it for either agricultural or energy use, Sugarcane Biorefinery, Technology and Perspectives provides researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals in the sugarcane industry with practical insights for current applications and inspires further exploration of options for balancing food and fuel. Provides an overview of the productive chain of sugarcane and its implications on food production and the environmentInvestigates evolution of the sustainable development of the sugar-energy sectorContextualizes the technological roadmapping for energy-caneExplores new technologies for the sugar-energy sector INDICE: 1.
