This well-rounded text examines the opportunities, challenges, and practical considerations for developing bio-based feedstocks, biodegradable plastics, hydrogen energy, fuel cells, and other aspects related to renewable resources and sustainable energy production. It explores chemical processes, commercial technologies, and the use of bio-based/biomass materials as renewable feedstock for efficient waste management solutions and energy production. Accessible to scientists and non-scientists, the book includes real-world case studies of renewable energy projects, hard-to-find resources and useful references in the energy, bio-based feedstock, and development sectors.
