Waste-to-Energy: Sustainable Approaches for Emerging Economies presents the latest developments and applications for the conversion of waste into biofuels and other energy products. Divided into two parts, Section I reviews the major sources of solid waste and their management strategies in developing countries, and includes the collection, composition, segregation, and dispersal of various waste streams, as well as the generation of biogas and other value-added products. Section II examines the transformation of waste into biofuels and the management strategies required to efficiently implement waste-to-energy processes.Methods for the production of hydrogen, biomethane, biofuels, and bioenergy, as well as resource recovery are discussed in depth, and mathematical models are provided for anaerobic digestion techniques. The benefits and challenges of waste-to-energy as a waste management strategy are explored through dedicated chapters on the techno-economics, environmental and social regulation, and the operation of WtE plants. The final chapter of the book presents a lifecycle assessment and environmental impact analysis of the technologies and strategies discussed.

This book, belonging to energy discipline, summarized the latest research progress in the development of microbial lipids and biodiesel technologies. This book introduced the concept and development of microbial lipids and biodiesel technologies, the microbial lipid technology based on oleaginous yeasts, filamentous fungi, microalgae, bacteria, and thraustochytrids. Meanwhile, this book introduced the inhibition and removal of lignocellulosic hydrolysis inhibitors on microbial fermentation for lipid production, the isolation and screening of high-yield strains of oleaginous microorganisms, the use of metabolic engineering to transform oleaginous microorganisms, the process engineering technologies for optimization and process improvement, the harvesting of microbial cells and the extraction of microbial lipids, the production of crude biodiesel by esterification of microbial lipids, the biodiesel purification technology as well as the challenges and prospects of the industrialization of biodiesel technology based on microbial lipids. Reading this book will help readers comprehensively understand the latest developments in the field of "microbial lipids and biodiesel technologies". This book takes into account the relevant practical engineering technologies and the latest basic scientific research, and can be used as a reference for the researchers, engineers, investors, policy-makers, and students engaged in clean energy, microbial lipids and biodiesel industries.
