Synopsis

Recent Advances in Bioconversion of Lignocellulose to Biofuels and Value Added Chemicals within the Biorefinery Concept covers the latest developments on biorefineries, along with their potential use for the transformation of residues into a broad range of more valuable products. Within this context, the book discusses the enzymatic conversion process of lignocellulosic biomass to generate fuels and other products in a unified approach. It focuses on new approaches to increase enzymatic production by microorganisms, the action of microbial inhibitors, and strategies for their removal.

Furthermore, it outlines the benefits of this integrated approach for generating value-added products and the benefits to social and economic aspects, circular bio economy, HUBs and perspectives.

• Covers the mechanisms of enzymatic conversion of biomass into value-added products
• Discusses bioproducts derived from lignocellulose and their applications
• Includes discussions on design, development and the technologies needed for the sustainable manufacture of materials and chemicals
• Offers a techno-economic evaluation of biorefineries for integrated sustainability assessments
• Discusses the socioeconomic and cultural-economic perspectives of the lignocellulosic biorefinery
• Presents a virtual biorefinery as an integrated approach to evaluate the lignocellulose production chain
