Описание: This book reviews of up-todate conversion techniques for biofuels. It emphases on the cutting-edge development for the production of liquid and gaseous biofuels that should be useful to the chemical scientists and technologists. A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter. Bioenergy is energy derived from biofuels. Biofuels may also be derived from forestry, agricultural or fishery products or municipal wastes, as well as from agro-industry, food industry and food service by-products and wastes. Generally, bioenergy covers roughly 10% of the total world energy demand. Traditional unprocessed biomass such as fuelwood, charcoal and animal dung accounts for most of this and represents the main source of energy for a large number of people in developing countries who use it mainly for cooking and heating. More advanced and efficient conversion technologies now allow the extraction of biofuels from materials such as wood, crops and waste material. Bioenergy consists of solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels. Liquid fuels can be used directly in the existing road, railroad, and aviation transportation network stock, as well as in engine and turbine electrical power generators. Solid and gaseous fuels can be used for the production of electrical power from purposedesigned direct or indirect turbine-equipped power plants. Around 85% of the liquid biofuels are currently produced in the form of bioethanol with the main producers being Brazil and the USA. Biodiesel production is essentially concentrated in the European Union. Commercial biomass conversion technologies are improving, with respect to efficiency of resource use, and environmental impact mitigation and economic performance. This book should be of highly immense valuable tool for researchers, academicians and industrialists.

Описание: This book explores the use of biomass as an energy source and its application in energy conversion technologies.Focusing on the challenges of, and technologies related to, biomass conversion, the book is divided into three parts. The first part underlines the fundamental concepts that form the basis of biomass production, its feasibility valuation, and its potential utilization. This part does not consider only how biomass is generated, but also methods of assessment. The second part focuses on the clarification of central concepts of the biorefinery processes. After a preliminary introduction with industrial examples, common issues of biochemical reaction engineering applications are analysed in detail. The theory explained in this part demonstrates that the chemical kinetics are the core focus in modelling biological processes such as growth, decay, product formation and feedstock consumption. This part continues with the theory of biofuels production, including biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons.The third part of this book gives detailed explanations of preliminary notions related to the theory of thermodynamics. This theory will assist the reader when taking into account the concepts treated in the previous two parts of the book. Several detailed derivations are given to give the reader a full understanding of the arguments at hand. This part also gives literature data on the main properties of some biomass feedstock.Fundamentals of Biofuels Engineering and Technology will be of interest not only to academics and researchers working in this field but also to graduate students and energy professionals seeking to expand their knowledge of this increasingly important area.

Описание: Faced with the twin threats of peak oil and climate change, many governments have turned for an answer to the apparent panacea of biofuels. Yet, increasingly, the progressive implementation of this solution demonstrates that the promise of biofuels as a replacement to fossil fuels is in fact a mirage that, if followed, risks leaving us short of power, short of food and doing as much damage to the climate as ever -- let alone the consequent impact on biodiversity due to additional loss of habitat for agricultural production and on rural development due to the additional stress on traditional farming systems. Worse still, these risks are being ignored. In this definitive expos�, Mario Giampietro and Kozo Mayumi present a theoretical framework and exhaustive evidence for the case against large scale biofuel production from agricultural crops. This book will be vital, sobering reading for anyone concerned with energy or agricultural policy, or bioenergy as a complex system.

Описание: A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter. Although biofuel is fast emerging as the oil of the future, a number of environmental effects of biofuel are also surfacing associated with its use. These biofuel environmental effects potentially include decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, pollution and the rate of biodegradation. Biofuels are only one component of a range of alternatives for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Whether using biodiesel is able to lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to the fossil fuels may depend on many factors. Carbon dioxide is known to be one of the major greenhouse gases. The plant feedstock used in the making biofuels absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when it grows and once the biomass is converted into biodiesel and burnt as fuel, the energy released is used to power an engine while the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. There can be grave effects of biodiesel fuel on environment if deforestation and monoculture farming techniques are used to grow biofuel crops. It may damage the ecosystems and biodiversity and increase the emission of climate change gases rather than helping controlling them. To meet the demand for cheap oil from the tropical region, the amount of arable land is being extended in order to increase production at the cost of tropical rainforest. Another of the environmental effects of biodiesel fuels can be seen in its biodegradation rates, which are five times faster than petroleum diesel over a period of 28 days. Biodiesel fuel blends can also accelerate the rate of petroleum diesel degradation through co-metabolism. Toxicity studies have revealed no mortalities and any toxic effects of biodiesel fuel on environment. This book, Environmental Impact of Biofuels, aims to be a comprehensive summary of current biofuels issues and thereby contribute to the understanding of this important topic. This book is recommended for anyone interested in understanding this diverse and developing theme..

Описание:

Strategic Planning for the Sustainable Production of Biofuels presents several optimization models for the design and planning of sustainable biorefinery supply chains, including issues surrounding the potential of biomass feedstocks in multiple harvesting sites, availability and seasonality of biomass resources, different potential geographical locations for processing plants that produce multiple products using diverse production technologies, economies of scale for production technologies, demands and prices of multiple products, locations of storage facilities, and a number of transportation modes. Sustainability considerations are incorporated into the proposed models by including simultaneous economic, environmental and social performance in the evaluation of the supply chain designs.
