Biofuels Production from Lignocellulosic Materials

Biofuels Production from Lignocellulosic Materials by Mukesh Kumar Awasthi, Sindhu Raveendran, Balasubramani Ravindran, and Binghua Yan presents a timely roadmap for converting abundant biomass into sustainable fuels. Whether you work in bioenergy research, industrial biotechnology, or policy planning, this authoritative volume captures the science and practicality of lignocellulosic biofuel production with clarity and depth.

Explore the full lifecycle of lignocellulosic feedstocks — from agricultural residues and forestry by-Books to energy crops — and learn proven strategies for pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial fermentation, and downstream processing. The book balances rigorous technical detail with real-world relevance, covering process integration, optimization, and techno-economic and environmental assessments that matter to engineers, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers across regions such as India, Asia, Europe, and North America.

Rich in applied insight, the authors unpack challenges like recalcitrance, enzyme cost, and scale-up, while highlighting innovations in catalysis, bioconversion pathways, and circular bioeconomy solutions. Readers gain practical frameworks to evaluate feedstock selection, enhance yield, and reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions — essential for anyone advancing renewable energy, carbon reduction, or rural development initiatives.

Readable yet scholarly, this volume is ideal for graduate students, researchers, industrial scientists, and policy advisors seeking actionable guidance in bioenergy and sustainable fuels. If you’re building projects, designing pilot plants, or shaping national biofuel strategies, this book equips you with the technical knowledge and strategic perspective to move from concept to implementation.
