Description
Biomass for Renewable Energy, Fuels, and Chemicals serves as a comprehensive introduction to the subject for the student
and educator, and is useful for researchers who are interested in the technical details of biomass energy production. The coverage and
discussion are multidisciplinary, reflecting the many scientific and engineering disciplines involved. The book will appeal to a broad
range of energy professionals and specialists, farmers and foresters who are searching for methods of selecting, growing, and converting
energy crops, entrepreneurs who are commercializing biomass energy projects, and those involved in designing solid and liquid waste disposal-energy
recovery systems.
Audience
Upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering and environmental science, energy professionals such as utility
engineers and forestry personnel, business persons, government staffers, and policy-makers.
