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 implementationReviews 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 optimizationExamines reforming, cracking, and gasification technologies for producing hydrogen, fuels, and value-added chemicals from renewable biofuelsEvaluates sustainability and industrial deployment through life cycle assessment, policy analysis, techno-economic evaluation, and exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental assessment
