Biomass waste: Processing, Valorization, Industrial Applications

This book explores the different categories of biomass waste as a renewable resource to generate high added value industrial products such as biofuel, biogas, energy. For this aim, it highlights the different processing techniques and characterization methods of the biomass and its by-products as well as the different usages in energy and environmental areas with a focus on bioenergy production. This book gives an overview on the recent trends and development of various aspects of biomass waste management.

The uniqueness of this book relies on its aptitude to give an updated data about the usage of different categories of biomass waste in high added value applications with a focus of bioenergy fields.
