Chemistry for Biomass Utilization 1st Edition

Chemistry for Biomass Utilization, 1st Edition by Raimo Alén draws you into the science behind sustainable energy and materials—offering a clear, practical roadmap for converting biomass into value.

This authoritative volume bridges fundamental chemistry and real-world biomass conversion, explaining feedstock composition, lignocellulosic structure, thermochemical and biochemical conversion routes, catalysis, and process optimization. Chapters translate complex reactions into usable knowledge for scientists, engineers, policy advisors, and advanced students working in bioenergy, biorefinery development, and sustainable materials production.

What sets this edition apart is its balance of rigorous chemical principles with hands-on application: reaction mechanisms are tied to pilot- and industry-scale concerns, and comparisons of pyrolysis, gasification, fermentation, and catalytic upgrading provide readers with the tools to evaluate pathways for different feedstocks and regional markets. Whether you operate in Europe’s bioeconomy, North America’s renewable energy sector, or the growing Asia-Pacific bioBooks industry, the text equips you to make informed technical and strategic decisions.

Packed with clear diagrams, practical examples, and up-to-date discussion of environmental and economic drivers, this book is ideal for coursework, professional reference, and project planning. Strengthen your technical foundation and accelerate innovation in biomass utilization with this concise, expertly written guide.
