Transformation of Solid Waste to Energy: Methods, Challenges and Opportunities brings together the latest developments, technologies, and approaches surrounding the transformation of organic waste into energy, enabling the reader to tackle head-on the challenges of valorizing waste as bioenergy. Sections introduce biomass as a sustainable renewable energy source, conversion processes, and possible energy recovery routes, before in-depth chapters highlight technologies for solid waste. Types of waste streams, conversion technologies, and sustainable development issues are considered, along with case studies.
The second part focuses on liquid waste, notably covering wastewater treatment and energy recovery, the production of biofuels, and microbial fuel cells. This new volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy is of interest to all those with an interest in waste-to-energy, bioenergy, waste management, chemical engineering, and sustainability, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, scientists, R&D, industrial practitioners, and policymakers.
