Chemicals From Biomass: Integrating Bioprocesse

This edited book explores the three interrelated concepts – biomass, bioenergy, and bioeconomy – from the point of view of sustainable advanced conversion processes. It elaborates on processing routes, i.e., how biomass from various sources can be converted into bioenergy like bioethanol, biodiesel, biobutanol, and biogas. Chapters are organized into three sections – “Biomass,” “Bioenergy,” and “Bioeconomy.” The first section very much focuses on biomass-based global research trends and their utilization for future bioenergy options, very particular to microbial activities associated and their practically real-time challenges during lab to land approach.

This book is a compendium of knowledge on the useful properties of algae in the context of application as a useful component of innovative natural products. It presents all aspects of industrial applications of macroalgae biomass derived from the natural environment. Despite many interesting characteristics, algae are still regarded as undervalued raw material, therefore, present in the following chapters are not only environmental benefits arising from the development of excessive algal biomass, but also the distribution and biology of algae in natural conditions in reservoirs, methods of obtaining extracts from biomass of algae for industrial purposes. Furthermore, it also includes topics such as the use of biomass and algae extracts for the industrial purposes, in animal breeding and for agricultural purposes, as well as the economic aspects of algae biomass harvesting for industrial purposes. The book is intended for a wide audience interested in new methods of obtaining the biomass from the natural environment for industrial purposes and the manufacture of products based on bioactive substances obtained from the environment.

This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the 3rd International Conference on Biomass Utilization and Sustainable Energy 2023 (ICoBiomasSE 2023), Malaysia. The theme of the conference "Advancing Circular Economy Towards Academic-Industrial Sustainability" has been chosen in consideration of the emergence of circular economy concepts in the field of biomass innovation towards sustainable development. The contents are broadly divided into five parts: (1) sustainable biomass resources for decarbonising the economy, (2) biomass conversion technologies for bioenergy and biofuels, (3) biomass conversion to intermediates and products, (4) bioeconomy sustainability, impacts, and policies, and (5) bioenergy integration. It provides a platform to college or graduate students, professionals, researchers, academicians, policy makers, and industries working in the areas of biomass utilization and sustainable energy to solve long-standing environmental issues for healthier planet. It may also be of interests for environmentalist and materialists who work on planning, engineering, and management fields.

This book focuses on the soybean, and reviews and research concerning the yield, biomass, and productivity of soybean are presented herein. The main aim of this book is to present a basis for the above-mentioned integral processes of resource, transport, partitioning, metabolism, and production, which involves yield, biomass, and productivity in plants (soybean), and to understand what supports this basis and the integral process.
