Sustainable Bioenergy Production from Agricultural Biomass and Waste, the latest release in the Woodhead Bioenergy series, provides a comprehensive overview of the conversion of agricultural biomass and waste to bioenergy, covering characteristics, properties, and energy use by source, and offering in-depth information on a range of biological treatment processes to produce biogas and biomethane, bioethanol, and biodiesel, as well as thermal treatment processes. Additionally, the book discusses the environmental, social, and economic aspects of converting agricultural biomass and waste to energy, along with the role and combination of biological and thermal aspects in the context of sustainable development.This book will be of interest to scientists, researchers, engineers, industrial practitioners, and graduate and postgraduate students working on, or looking to understand, how to utilize and add value to agricultural biomass and waste.Covers a range of sources, including straw and hay, slurry and manure, and waste, as well as by-products from the agri-food industryFocuses on biological and thermal conversion processes for agricultural biomass and wasteExplains the fundamentals, practical aspects, and techniques for the production of biogas, biomethane, bioethanol, biodiesel, and compostConsiders sustainable development and key environmental, social, and economic aspects

Biogas Plants

Comprehensive resource highlighting the global significance of biogas and reviewing the current status of biogas production.

Biogas Plants presents an overview of biogas production, starting from the substrates (characteristics, pretreatment, and storage), addressing technical and technological aspects of fermentation processes, and covering the environmental and agricultural significance of obtained digestate.

Written by a team of experts with extensive theoretical and practical experience in the areas of bio-waste, biogas plants, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, Biogas Plants discusses keys topics including:

Anaerobic digestion, including discussion of substrates and products Advantages of biogas plants, with emphasis on their future potential for stable and controlled renewable energy Global significance of the biogas sector, including its importance in electro-energy system stabilization, biogas plants for energy storage, bio-waste utilization, and biomethane production

A thorough and complete resource on the subject, Biogas Plants will appeal to academic researchers and industry scientists and engineers working in the fields of biogas, bio-waste, bioenergy, renewable resources, waste management and carbon reduction, along with process engineers, environmental engineers, biotechnologists, and agricultural scientists.

This book discusses selected waste and by-products of the food industry. Two commonly used methods of managing these are discussed: anaerobic digestion and composting. The book reviews current research and also brings in the author’s own research insights to the discussion. The book is aimed at food industry specialists, waste management specialists, scientists, and students. However, the book describes problems in an accessible way, which will make this book useful for beginners in the waste/biogas/composting sector.
