Description matérielle : 1 online resource
Note(s) : At present biomass and bioenergy are the most significant renewable energy options
and will remain so in the near and medium-term future. Biomass has the potential to
become the world's largest and most sustainable energy source and will be very much
in demand. Bioenergy is based on resources that can be utilized on a sustainable basis
all around the world and can thus serve as an effective option for the provision of
energy services. In addition, the benefits accrued go beyond energy provision, creating
unique opportunities for regional development. The current book is the first of a
two volume series "Biomass and Bioenergy", which is an up to date account of highly
important characteristics of biomass and bioenergy. The present book comprising of
twenty chapters from distinguished scientists and researchers around the tropics,
reporting the diversity of untapped biomass and bioenergy resources, their processing
and properties as well as their value-added functions as a bio-based feedstock in
a sustainable economy. This book articulately highlighted the usefulness of biomass
residues that are mostly known in the tropical world. In this book, the inclusion
of a broad range of bast fibres, for example, kapok, pine apple leaf, Indian date
fibre etc., mainly existing in the tropics with unexploited potential of vast and
wide range value-addition in an energy-intensive world makes perfect sense. Lastly,
chapters on alternative energy sources highlight the progress in algal biomass research
as well as biomass steam gasification for Hydrogen production. We hope this book will
serve as a comprehensive primer for individuals who are interested in learning about
the vast potentials of tropical biomass
