Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass Feedstock and Solid Waste into Biofuels

Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass Feedstock and Solid Waste into Biofuels by Yanjun Hu is a comprehensive, practice-oriented guide for professionals and researchers tackling the global challenge of converting organic residues into renewable fuels. Clear, authoritative, and up-to-date, this volume distills core thermochemical principles and cutting-edge technologies—pyrolysis, gasification, torrefaction, and hydrothermal liquefaction—into actionable insights suited for laboratory, pilot, and industrial scales.

Readers will find in-depth coverage of feedstock characterization, reactor design, reaction kinetics, catalytic upgrading, and process integration, alongside lifecycle assessment and techno-economic considerations. Real-world case studies and regional examples demonstrate how waste-to-energy pathways are being implemented across Asia, Europe, North America, and developing markets, making the book relevant for global stakeholders focused on sustainable energy, circular economy strategies, and waste management solutions.

Engineered for engineers, policymakers, academics, and industry leaders, the text balances rigorous science with practical guidance—design tips, optimization strategies, and regulatory context—to accelerate project development from feasibility to operation. Whether you’re designing a gasification plant, evaluating feedstock mixes, or modeling conversion efficiency, Yanjun Hu’s expert analysis equips you with the tools to reduce emissions, improve resource recovery, and create resilient local energy systems.

Essential for university libraries and professional collections, this title is a must-have reference for anyone committed to advancing renewable fuels and sustainable urban and rural energy solutions worldwide.
