From Crops and Wastes to Bioenergy

From Crops and Wastes to Bioenergy by Electo Silva Lora, Manuel Garcia-Perez, and Osvaldo José Venturini is a practical, research-informed guide to turning agricultural residues and organic wastes into reliable renewable energy. Whether you work in sustainable agriculture, renewable energy planning, or environmental policy, this book delivers clear pathways from feedstock selection to conversion technologies.

Explore accessible explanations of biomass sources—crop residues, food processing by-Books, and municipal organic waste—and learn how they can be transformed into biogas, biofuels, and bioelectricity through processes like anaerobic digestion, gasification, and fermentation. Rich in case studies and real-world data, the text bridges theory and practice, showing scalable solutions for farms, communities, and small industries across regions from Latin America to Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Engineered for professionals and advanced students, the book balances technical depth with practical recommendations: feedstock characterization, pretreatment options, reactor design considerations, and environmental and economic assessments. It also addresses policy frameworks and sustainable supply-chain practices that make bioenergy viable at local and regional levels.

If you want a single, authoritative resource to help plan projects, assess feasibility, or design systems that convert crops and wastes into clean energy, this volume is an indispensable reference. Reliable, actionable, and globally relevant—get your copy now and start turning waste into opportunity for a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
