Biofuel production from waste biomass is increasingly being focused on due to several advantages of lignocellulosic biomass, such as availability in abundance from several sources, cost-effectiveness, little competition with food sources, etc. This new volume, Sustainable Biofuel and Biomass: Advances and Impacts, provides a wealth of in-depth information on many types of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass and also describes biomass sources and their availability for biofuel production.

This compiled book features 17 chapters that discuss the different aspects of biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass. Chapters deal with different types of lipase-mediated biofuel production, biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass, triacylglycrol biosynthetic pathways in plants for biofuel applications, the industrial prospects of lignocellulosic bioethanol production, biofuel cell production, potential feedstocks availability for bioethanol production, biofuel production from algal biomass, and many other important topics.

This book will be useful for scientists, researchers, and industry professionals in the field of biofuel/bioenergy as well as for faculty and upper-level students in bioprocess engineering, renewable energy, chemical engineering, enzymology, environmental biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology, process engineering, polymer sciences, and environmental science. The book also will be useful for different industries such as paper and pulp industries, oil industries, chemical industries etc.

Key features:
  • Covers many different aspects and types of biofuel production from lignocelluloisc biomass
  • Reports on different metabolic engineering approaches for lignocellulosic biofuel production
  • Reviews recent advancements in lignocellulosic biofuel research
  • Looks at biomass sources and their availability for biofuel production
  • Addresses the major challenges and future prospects of lignocellulosic biofuel production
