Sustainable Biodiesel: Real-World
Designs, Economics, and Applications offers a unique, integrated
approach that combines cutting-edge research results and the day-to-day
aspects of biodiesel production at the industrial level. It brings
together experienced academics and recognized industry experts to
explore the most practical elements of research and discuss the
limitations and future needs of the industry. The book critically
reviews strategies for implementing biodiesel-based biorefineries,
feedstock supply chains, reactor technologies, processes for biodiesel
production, and biodiesel combustion, including advanced fuel
formulations containing biodiesel. The authors examine biodiesel plants
from the point of view of design, operation, quality control, and
sustainability, including life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle
costing (LCC). Policy and regulatory constraints in biodiesel production
and commercialization as well as future trends and needs of the
industry are also covered.
This book,
as a volume of the "Biomass and Biofuels" series, provides researchers
and practitioners in the field of biomass and biofuels with a
well-rounded understanding of how the technologies developed in the lab
can be deployed at commercial scale in a sustainable and cost-efficient
way. This allows biofuels researchers to better develop technology that
is fit for upscaling in an industrial setting and complies with
sustainability goals. Practicing engineers, on the other hand, find in
this volume up-to-date information on available technology, the latest
advances, and future trends that will inform their decision-making when
planning, implementing, and troubleshooting biodiesel-based bioenergy
systems.
- Sheds light on the
real-world aspects of biodiesel production while also covering the
cutting-edge research results in the field
- Integrates design,
economics, and sustainability aspects, minimizing the gap between
theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, as well as between
technical aspects and environmental and economic performances
-
Includes realistic examples and case studies of applications of
state-of-the-methodologies for life cycle assessment, life cycle impact
assessment, and life cycle costing
