Overview

This book examines the convergence of nanotechnology and bioenergy to develop sustainable biowaste-based biorefineries, offering solutions to growing concerns about fossil fuel depletion, waste accumulation, and environmental degradation. It highlights how organic waste, particularly from agriculture and food industries, can be transformed into valuable bioenergy, aligning with global sustainability goals. The use of nanomaterials as catalysts in biorefineries is explored in depth, with attention to their synthesis, functionality, environmental impact, and cost-efficiency. Emphasis is placed on the need for environmentally friendly nanostrategies that also support economic growth and social acceptance. The chapters provide a clear overview of current technologies, the potential of green nanotechnology, environmental and economic analyses, and the societal implications of adopting these innovations. The book also evaluates the feasibility of integrating nanotech into large-scale bioenergy production and offers insights into future directions. As part of the Clean Energy Production Technologies book series, this volume presents a timely and comprehensive perspective on advancing sustainable energy systems. It is an essential reference for researchers, students, industry professionals, and policy makers involved in biotechnology, renewable energy, waste management, and sustainable development.
