Biorefineries Targeting Energy, High Value Products and Waste Valorisation / edited by Miriam Rabaçal, Ana F. Ferreira, Carla A. M. Silva, Mário Costa.

• Introduction -- Biomass characterization -- Biomass pre-conditioning -- Biomass transformation -- Sustainability analysis -- Existing Pilot-plants -- Conclusions.

• This book addresses the potential of the transformation of biomass into a wide range of marketable products, and examines the biological, biochemical, physical and thermal processing of biomass into products such as fuels, power, heat, feeds, chemicals and materials. Respective chapters explore various topics including biomass characterization, biomass pre-conditioning and sustainability analysis, aspects that are supplemented by a global overview of their implementation in current pilot bio-refineries. Providing a valuable resource to energy engineers, chemical engineers, biotechnologists and economists, this book will also be of great interest to students and policymakers.
