Sustainable Biorefining of Woody Biomass to Biofuels and Biochemicals 1st Edition

Sustainable Biorefining of Woody Biomass to Biofuels and Biochemicals — 1st Edition by Deepak Kumar, Sachin Kumar, and Karthik Rajendran offers a timely, authoritative roadmap for converting woody biomass into value-added fuels and chemicals. This engaging guide opens with a clear case for sustainable bioeconomy solutions, capturing attention with global demand for low-carbon alternatives and the vast potential of lignocellulosic resources from forests, plantations, and agroforestry systems across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa.

Delving deeper, the book presents a balanced, technical yet accessible exploration of pretreatment strategies, biochemical and thermochemical conversion pathways, catalytic upgrading, and downstream separation. Readers gain insight into process integration, scaling challenges, and methods for assessing environmental and economic performance—including life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis—enabling practitioners to design resilient, regionally relevant biorefineries.

Practical case studies and comparative analyses make the material compelling for a wide audience: researchers, process engineers, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and graduate students seeking applied knowledge on biomass valorization, circular bioeconomy principles, and sustainable feedstock sourcing. Emphasis on real-world constraints—feedstock variability, logistics, and regulatory frameworks—helps translate theory into actionable strategies.

If you’re striving to lead in bioenergy, green chemicals, or sustainable industrial development, this 1st edition equips you with the critical tools and insights to innovate responsibly. Whether planning a pilot facility in Europe, optimizing supply chains in North America, or developing community-scale solutions in Asia, this book is your practical reference and strategic companion.
