Biorefineries for Energy Transition

Biorefineries for Energy Transition: Biofuel Production and Their Role in Fleet Electrification, the latest release in the Bioenergy series, offers a systematic approach to biofuel production, including liquid, gaseous, and solid biofuels, and covering first, second, third, and fourth generation biofuels. The book describes main concepts, processing, and the latest advances across each type of biofuel, also addressing sustainability from the perspective of economics, the environment, and social considerations. The final part of the book focuses on the role and implications of biofuels in transport, discussing aviation and shipping, fleet electrification, and hybrid engines.

This latest volume will be of interest to researchers, faculty, advanced students, scientists, engineers, industry professionals, and policymakers working in bioenergy, biorefinery, or biofuels.
