Introduction

Bioenergy from Waste Biomass: Advances in Conversion Technologies explore the innovation of converting waste biomass into valuable energy sources. In the current situation, there is a demand to strengthens sustainable and renewable energy solutions. Thus, the proposed book will provide a cutting-edge technology which will transform agricultural residues, municipal waste and other biomass sources into biofuels, biogas and electricity. The proposed book will investigate the advancement towards biochemical, thermochemical, biological conversion processes and its applications. This resource will bridge the gap between the research and application on bioenergy from waste biomass and provides an insight to the academic, industry professionals, policy makers and interested green energy people

Objective

The proposed book will also take a multidisciplinary approach towards environmental science, engineering, economics, smart technologies, public policies to present a holistic view of waste to energy strategies. Additionally, the proposed book will consider the challenges such as technological feasibility, emissions control, and social acceptance which offers practical recommendations to overcome these barriers. The readers shall gather information about how waste to energy can contribute to a sustainable future while addressing the critical waste management challenges.

Target Audience

Please be specific when describing your intended audience in as much detail as possible, e.g. academic specialism, industry sector, job role, level. If the book is intended for course adoption please provide details, including program and level. Important to state primary and secondary disciplines and sub-disciplines in separate sections. The primary audiences are Academic Researchers, Scientists, Graduate and Postgraduate Students, Industry Professionals and Engineers. The secondary audiences are The Policy makers, Government officials, Environmental organizations, NGOs, Investors and Entrepreneurs, General public and Enthusiasts
