This volume focuses on how waste biomass can be transformed into useful biomaterials, food and feed, fuel, and chemicals by using various processes such as chemical, physical, thermal, biological, and biotechnological procedures.Biomass from biowastes, such as agriculture crop residues, wood processing residues, forest residues, food waste, industrial waste, and municipal solid waste, have emerged as potential substrates for bioenergy production. This volume explores the key features of biotechnology for waste biomass utilization, presenting scientific and technical literature on sustainable waste biomass management as well as for biomass conversion for biofuels, chemicals, and other new commercial products. It discusses a variety of novel biotechnical applications and interventions, including microbial fermentation and anaerobic digestion, biotechnological modes of xylooligosaccharides production, multifaceted utilization of microalgal biomass, vermiculture and vermicomposting, and more.Key features:Provides the most recent information about waste biomass utilization for the production of biofuels and biochemicalsShows a wide range of novel technologies in the field of biotechnology towards waste biomass utilizationFocuses on the utilization of microbial resources for waste biomass conversion into value-added productsExplores methods for food wastes and crop wastes conversion into biofuels and biochemicalsProvides the scientific information describing various examples and case studies which aid gaining knowledge to researchers and academiciansWith chapters from eminent researchers who have significant global experience in the field of waste biomass management, this volume delivers a wealth of valuable information for researchers involved in bioenergy utilization. It will also be an essential source for academicians, researchers, economists, policymakers, and policy analysts.

This new book is one of the first books on waste biomass valorization utilizing oleaginousmicrobes, exploring the conversion of waste materials into valuable products, such as chemicals,materials, and fuels. It discusses the innovation, design, and impact of oleaginous microbialregimes toward the utilization of waste biomass for value-added microbial products. It placesspecial emphasis on oleaginous microbial biosynthetic pathways and their bioengineeringaspects for improving the generation of value-added biomolecules for sustainable biorefineries.Key features:• Discusses the significance of oleaginous microbes on value-added biomolecule production• Looks at oleaginous microbial solutions for agroindustrial wastes, industrial waste, agroforestresidues, and electronic waste• Explores the role of oleaginous microbes in bioenergy generation and other products
