Advances in Lignocellulosic Biofuel Production Systems

Advances in Lignocellulosic Biofuel Production Systems focuses on general topics such as novel pretreatment strategies, lignocellulosic biomass as a suitable feedstock for biofuels, lifecycle assessment and integrated biorefineries. Furthermore, the book focuses on more advanced topics such as genetically engineered feedstocks, metabolically engineered microbes, bioreactor design and configuration, cell immobilization strategies, artificial intelligence applications and nanotechnology. This book will guide readers through all aspects of lignocellulosic biofuel production rather than simply covering a single topic.- Provides information on the most advanced and innovative technologies for biomass valorization, including the design and configuration of bioreactors- Identifies research gaps in the application of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, cell immobilization, metabolic engineering, kinetic assessment and genetically engineered feedstocks for enhancing lignocellulosic bioprocessing and biofuel yield- Presents a global overview of the supply chain for biofuels production from lignocellulosic biomass- Includes techno-economic analysis, along with environmental and socioeconomic impact assessments of various technologies
