Book

Description

As global waste generation surges and climate targets tighten, transforming biomass waste into clean energy has become a critical pillar of the circular bioeconomy. Biomass Waste Valorization for Sustainable Energy: A Systematic Review delivers the first comprehensive, evidence-based synthesis of modern waste-to-energy pathways. Drawing from a rigorous analysis of over 300 global studies, this authoritative volume systematically evaluates pyrolysis, gasification, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, and emerging hybrid catalytic systems. Inside, readers will find: • Detailed techno-economic assessments, including capital investment models ($3M-$12M) and payback period benchmarks • In-depth analysis of process optimization, green catalyst design, and AI/ML integration for intelligent process control • Life-cycle assessment frameworks, emission mitigation strategies, and circular economy integration models • Critical research gaps and actionable recommendations for scaling technologies from laboratory to commercial deployment Designed for researchers, process engineers, policy analysts, and graduate students in bioenergy, environmental engineering, and green chemistry, this book bridges the divide between scientific innovation and industrial implementation. As the world accelerates its transition to renewable energy systems, Biomass Waste Valorization for Sustainable Energy provides the data-driven insights needed to turn organic waste streams into reliable power, high-value chemicals, and a resilient, low-carbon future.
