Produktbeschreibung
This book provides awareness about utilizing the agricultural waste to assist sustainable development goals (SDGs) through the adaptation of such waste-to-energy technologies. It discusses the synthesis, characterization, and environmental utilization of biofuels produced from agriculture-derived wastes. The application of circular economy, insights and opportunities of recent issues, and ideas for the potential enhancement of agricultural waste-derived products are also explored.

About a third of all biomass waste is produced by agriculture, making it one of the largest contributors to global biomass waste. Different biochemical and thermochemical processes can transform this waste into a wide range of value-added products. Such biomass-to-biofuel trends have gained a prominent status in the global energy system. And the agro-waste-derived products can provide potential solutions to a wide range of environmental problems.

The Primary audience shall be academicians, researchers, engineers, scientists, and managers working in the field of agricultural residue management and waste biomass to energy.
