In Bioenergy Systems for the Future, a team of experts examines the current advances in biomass conversion technologies for biofuels and biohydrogen production, including their advantages and challenges for real-world application and industrial-scale implementation. In its first part, the book explores the use of lignocellulosic biomass and agricultural wastes as feedstock and looks into biomass conversion into biofuels such as bioethanol, biodiesel, bio-methane and bio-gasoline. The chapters in Part II cover several different pathways for hydrogen production from biomass, including bioethanol and bio-methane reforming and syngas conversion. They also include a comparison between the most recent conversion technologies and conventional approaches for hydrogen production. Part III presents the status of advanced bioenergy technologies such as applications of nanotechnology and the use of bio-alcohol in low-temperature fuel cells. The role of advanced bioenergy in a future bioeconomy and the integration of these technologies into existing systems are also discussed. This comprehensive, application-oriented overview is ideal for engineering professionals, researchers and graduate students involved in bioenergy, especially for industry application research and development. Explores the most recent technologies for advanced liquid and gaseous biofuels production, their advantages and challengesPresents real-life application of conversion technologies and their integration in existing systemsIncludes the most promising pathways for sustainable hydrogen production for energy applications
