This book describes diverse sources of biomaterial such as agricultural and forestry residues, special cultivated energy plants, aquatic plants like algae and urban organic waste (Chapters 1) and the logistics of biomass production, harvesting, transportation and storage (chapter 2). It also presents detailed methods whereby these materials can be processed to generate various forms of clean bioenergy such as biogas (Chapter 3,7), biodiesel (Chapter 4), bioethanol (Chapter 5), and clean biochar and other bioproducts (Chapter 8). In chapter 6, the modern advanced combustion system is introduced to improve burning efficiency. This simple approach could improve human and environmental health enormously, especially in rural areas of developing countries. The Application of Life Cycle Analysis on algae energy balance and the environmental impact of the bioenergy processes are discussed in Chapter 9. This book is intended to be practical and useful to those who are involved in bio-energy production.
