Beskrivning
Biofuel-Reforming for Sustainable Energy delivers a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective on the technologies transforming renewable fuels into clean energy, hydrogen, and value-added products. Bridging fundamental science with engineering practice, the book begins with the principles of biofuel reforming, feedstock selection, thermodynamic analysis, and advanced reactor design before presenting the latest developments in catalyst engineering, including metallic, mixed-metal oxide, ferrite, composite, and bio-derived catalysts, together with machine learning approaches for catalyst discovery and process optimization.

The book provides in-depth coverage of the major biofuel conversion pathways, including steam reforming, dry reforming, autothermal reforming, partial oxidation, plasma-assisted reforming, thermal and hydrothermal cracking, and catalytic cracking for fuels and chemical production. Dedicated sections examine emerging applications in fuel cells, biomass gasification integrated with reforming, niche end-use technologies, and sustainable utilization of agricultural residues.

Beyond technology, the book addresses the broader challenges of deploying biofuel reforming at scale through environmental impact assessment, life cycle assessment, techno-economic and industrial evaluation, policy frameworks, and exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental analyses. Bringing together established knowledge and the latest advances in one authoritative volume, this book is an essential reference for researchers, engineers, graduate students, and industry professionals developing next-generation sustainable energy systems.

  • Integrates the complete biofuel reforming landscape, from fundamental principles and reactor engineering to advanced conversion technologies and industrial implementation
  • Reviews state-of-the-art catalyst systems, including metallic, mixed-metal oxide, ferrite, composite, and bio-derived catalysts, alongside machine learning for catalyst discovery and process optimization
  • Examines reforming, cracking, and gasification technologies for producing hydrogen, fuels, and value-added chemicals from renewable biofuels
  • Evaluates sustainability and industrial deployment through life cycle assessment, policy analysis, techno-economic evaluation, and exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental assessment

Mer om författaren

Dr. Maryam Meshksar is a Process Engineer at Petrochemical Industries Design and Engineering Company (PIDEC). Her research focuses on gas separation, clean energy technologies, catalytic processes, and sustainable energy conversion. In gas separation, she works primarily on membrane-based separation methods. For clean energy, she investigates methane reforming for syngas production, publishing over ten peer-reviewed experimental articles. She has also developed and synthesized novel reforming catalysts, including hard-templated catalysts using sustainable biotemplates such as leaves and glucose—demonstrating their application in these processes for the first time. Alongside her technical work, Dr. Meshksar contributes to scholarly communication through authoring, editing, and reviewing books, book chapters, and journal manuscripts for leading publishers. Her editorial expertise includes topics such as greenhouse gases, synthesis gases, natural gas, and homogeneous catalysis. She recently served as Series Editor for Advances in Biotechnology: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies.Dr. Mohammad Amin Makarem is an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Taylor’s University, Malaysia. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran. His research covers gas separation and purification, green energy, nanofluids, microfluidics, and catalyst synthesis. He also has extensive experience in academic publishing, serving as Editor or Co-editor for numerous books, book series, and major reference works from leading academic publishers. His editorial contributions span topics including carbon capture and storage, bioenergy, greenhouse gases, hydrotreating, oily wastewater, chemical industry crises, hydrogen and methanol energy production, homogeneous catalysis, synthesis gas, natural gas, and renewable energy systems. He recently served as Series Editor for Advances in Biotechnology: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies and has reviewed manuscripts for several international journals. Dr. Mohammad Yusuf is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, King Faisal University, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. He has more than a decade of research and teaching experience around the world, i.e., spanning Saudi Arabia, Canada, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, and South America. He served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Regina, Canada, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia, and as Head of the Department and Assistant Professor in the School of Technology at Glocal University, India. He was registered as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan, Canada. Dr. Yusuf authored over 150 research and review publications and serves on the editorial boards of several international journals while also acting as a reviewer for numerous peer-reviewed journals. His research interests include Clean Energy & Fuels, hydrogen/syngas, catalysis, biomass & biofuels, waste valorization, hydrocarbon recovery, CCUS, and several aspects of UNSDGs.
