Overview

Bioenergy Recovery from Biomass Waste provides a new paradigm to gain insight into the technical management of biomass waste conversion into clean energy and products such as heat, electricity, gaseous and liquid biofuels, chemicals, and fertilizers. The book discusses chemical and biological treatment methods for sludge, food wastes, algae, lignocellulosic waste and livestock manure, providing a comprehensive understanding of biomass resource treatment. Detailed chapters consider the relevant environmental risks during the biomass conversion process, explore practical applications, and provide theoretical guidance for improving the sustainability of waste management, analyzing and comparing the impact of different types of treatment technologies in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and reductions. Finally, current policies, bottlenecks and opportunities for waste treatment technologies and high value products are addressed. This new volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy is of interest to all those with an interest in biomass waste treatment, resource recovery, bioenergy, and clean energy, including graduate students, researchers, faculty, engineers, R&D, industry professionals, and policy makers.
