Thermochemical Conversion of Lignocellulosic Materials: Theory, Design, and Applications for the Future proposes a generalized methodology for the design and study of thermochemical conversion reactors independent of the feedstock used and the technology analyzed. Sections cover essential theory, including biomass thermochemical conversion, biomass supply chains, and thermochemical reactors. The book then examines other important aspects of the thermochemical conversion reaction, presenting modeling and analysis options. Finally, it investigates potential uses and applications for these techniques. Including clear objectives and practical exercises to cement understanding, this book will equip students and researchers with the skills to design and model selective reactors.

From Crops and Wastes to Bioenergy: Current Status and Challenges is a comprehensive volume on all aspects of biomass utilization for bioenergy, from the fundamentals to the latest commercial and regulatory issues. The book examines all aspects of biomass utilization, from technologies and processes to products. Sections examine the role of biomass in the energy transition, land availability for bioenergy projects, biomass logistics and supply chain, and assesses the lifecycle of bioenergy systems. Chapters are dedicated to each energy conversion route, including thermochemical, biochemical, and chemical, biofuels synthesis, hydrogen from biomass, biorefineries, electricity generation, and waste-to energy.Policy and regulatory issues are also considered. Each chapter reviews the state-of-the-art, discusses disruptive technological approaches, and concludes with specific recommendations on how to achieve commercial competitiveness. Case studies provide examples of real-world applications in each chapter.
