Emerging Trends and Techniques in Biofuel Production from Agricultural Waste

This edited book focuses primarily on biofuel production potential in agricultural waste, such as biogas generation, biohydrogen production, and research trends on managing or converting agricultural waste to biofuel. This book also draws attention to technological equipment, generated biofuels from agricultural waste through various biological and chemical processes, and the multiple factors responsible for biofuels from agricultural waste generation.

Agriculture waste can be a renewable source of lignocellulosic feedstock for value-added products. Considering the non-replaceable fossil fuel reservoir, the exponentially growing human population urges an immediate search for alternative renewable energies. To confront the upcoming energy crisis, lignocellulosic agricultural waste is expected to be a sustainable, renewable, low-cost resource to derive bioenergy because of its high availability.

This book will be of interest to researchers, scientists, and scholars working on agriculture waste management and biogas production. The book also serves as additional reading material for Industrial professionals, master's and degree students, policymakers, and NGOs working on biofuels and sustainable energy production.
