Solar Thermal and Biomasses
Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Development
WIT Press 2010.1
200 pp.(H)

Contents
* The book concerns renewable energy sources and in particular it collects the state-of-the-art in thermal solar techniques and biomasses. The first topic treated is solar radiation, which follows on by showing the possible utilisations of solar energy through thermal solar techniques. The last part of the book relates to biomasses, starting from the definition of this wide-range field and how it successively is treated by obtaining energy from biomasses and all the environmental aspects linked to this topic.
* Very few books treat so diffusely the state-of-the-art in thermal solar technologies and especially in biomasses, a topic in which there is a bit of confusion due to the very wide range of technologies related to this technology. *

* Continuously increased consumption of fossil fuels, decreased availability of easily accessible fossil fuels, significant contributions to climate change and wildly fluctuating fuels prices have combine to challenge the reliability and sustainability of our current energy supply. A possible solution to this energy challenge, biomass energy production, heavily dependent on sugarcane and corn production, is vulnerable to the fluctuation of the feedstock price. New technologies need to be developed to convert abundant biomass such as lignocellulosic materials into energy products in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. *

Bioalcohol Production
Biochemical Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass
CRC Press 2009.11
700 pp.(H)
ISBN 1-4398-0171-1
37,700円
Contents
1. Introduction/ 2. Feedstocks/ 3. Pretreatment and fractionation/ 4. Saccharification/hydrolysis/ 5. Fermentation processes/ 6. Multiple products/ Index/
* This book provides a comprehensive and timely reference on the biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of fuel alcohols, expertly reviewing the development of the entire second-generation bioalcohol production chain. The book covers the process engineering, technology, modeling, and integration of the entire production chain, from feedstock pretreatment on to hydrolysis, to fermentation, and on to purification. The book primarily covers the production of bioethanol, but extends into coverage of the production of longer-chain bioalcohols that will be elemental to future biofuel utilization. *
