Biomass as a sustainable energy source for the future: foundations of conversion processes Wiebren de Jong and J. Ruud van Ommen have written an English-language textbook aimed at professionals in the sector. The book covers the latest insights into conversion technologies for biomass to gas and liquid fuels.
The focus is on various conversion processes, with both physical pre-treatment methods and thermal, chemical, and biochemical technologies discussed in detail. In addition, integrated biorefineries are covered, comparable to oil refineries, including reactor configurations and downstream processing. Environmental aspects and risk mitigation when using biomass as an energy source are also addressed.
This reference work includes numerous practical examples, calculations, and exercises, making it suitable for use in education and professional applications in the field of sustainable energy.
The content aligns with industrial chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and energy sciences.
