This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Climate change is a significant threat to humanity's future. This means that a transition to a lower-carbon economy is unavoidable. Biochemical research is necessary for this transition, and will be an essential component of any climate policy. The editors have collected within this book the most recent research in this field. Included are chapters explaining climate change impact and sustainability issues; chapters focusing on biochemicals and biotechnologies that offer potential for offsetting and preparing for climate change; a section on the challenges that must be acknowledged, assessed, and overcome; and a final chapter that offers 12 reasons why safe climate policy is affordable.

Autorenporträt
Jimmy Faria is senior scientist at Abengoa Research, a R&D division of Abengoa. He is a chemical engineer and obtained a PhD from the University of Oklahoma (USA) in 2012. His research at the School of Chemical, Biological and Material Science at the University of Oklahoma (USA) is focused on the catalytic conversion of biomass-derived compounds in a novel nanoparticle stabilized emulsion system developed in this group, as well as on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of amphiphilic nanohybrids (e.g., enhanced oil recovery). Maria Pilar Ruiz-Ramiro is senior scientist at Abengoa Research, a R&D division of Abengoa. She is a chemical engineer and obtained a PhD from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) in 2008. She later worked as research associate with Daniel E. Resasco at the School of Chemical, Biological and Material Science at the University of Oklahoma (USA). Her research is focused on the thermochemical conversion of biomass, synthesis, and characterization of carbon solids (carbon nanotubes, biomass char and soot), and the development of nanostructured catalysts for biofuels up-grading reactions.
