This fully updated examination of sustainable processes for gaseous and liquid biofuels production, published for the second time within the series, Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals, provides 33 contributions made by 120 authors. They present a holistic view of biofuels in research, operations, scale-up and application. Comparing to the first edition, all chapters have been ipdated and new chapters covering topics of current interest, including sustainability and biohydrogen have been added. The first of seven sections generally introduce biofuels, present production technologies, principles of biorefining and bioeconomic aspects. Section 2 is dedicated to sustainability assessment of biofuels with chapters on techno-economic, environmental, social and integrated sustainability assessment. Section 3 is dedicated to therochemical conversiona of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels. Section 4 is dedicated to fermentation inhibitors in bioethanol processes and strategies to reduce their effects. In section 5 biodesial production from different sources is presented. Section 6 is on biohydrogen production containing information on status and perspectives and special cases caused by different sources. The last section is dedicated to biogas production. This book provides state-of-the-art information and knowledge of the desired readership. --Materials and Corrosion
