Lignocellulosic Biomass to Biohydrogen

"[This book] reframes biomass from a linear end-of-life challenge into a circular beginning fueling a low-carbon future." — Dr. Ranjith Krishna Pai, DST, Ministry of Science and Technology, Goverment of India

Expert solutions for the technical, environmental, and economic challenges presented by biohydrogen production

In Lignocellulosic Biomass to Biohydrogen: A Circular Economy and Sustainable Approach to Decarbonization, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive review of the available lignocellulose feedstocks for biohydrogen production and contemporary insights into new production technologies. The authors describe different management and research strategies in forestry, agriculture, agroforestry, and grasslands-based lignocellulosic biomass techniques designed to mitigate global warming.

This book offers effective solutions for decision makers involved in biohydrogen development who wish to contribute to hitting climate change targets. It also explores state-of-the-art circular economy approaches that fit neatly into practical sustainability frameworks, as well as real-world case studies on biohydrogen projects.

Readers will also find

• Thorough examinations of the use of biohydrogen in forestry, agriculture, algal, and agroforestry
• Comprehensive explorations of the different types of reactors, like stirred tank, packed bed, fluidized bed, and trickling filter
• Practical discussions of the optimization of biohydrogen production processes that leads to improved yields, reduced costs, and increased scalability
• Complete treatments of actual biohydrogen projects, including their design, implementation, and performance

Perfect for research scholars in engineering and chemical engineering instructors, this book will also benefit graduate and doctoral students in energy, environmental, and biotechnology fields with an interest in process development and cost-cutting strategies.
