Fully updated processes for the production of renewable and environmentally safe biofuels

This thoroughly revised guide presents a complete and up-to-date introduction to biofuels process technology. Written by a team of industry-leading experts, Biofuels Engineering Process Technology, Second Edition shows, step by step, how renewable feedstocks are processed and how biofuels are refined. You will explore the entire spectrum of biofuel processes, including the production of ethanol from sugarcane and corn, biodiesel from animal fats and plant oils, and methane by anaerobic digestion. The book clearly explains newly developed technologies for the production of drop-in biofuels and the use of microbial fuel cells to produce electricity.

Coverage includes:

• An introduction to biofuel engineering processes
• Harvesting energy from biochemical reactions
• Microbial modeling of biofuel production
• Biofuels feedstocks
• Ethanol
• Biodiesel
• Drop-in biofuels
• Biological production of hydrogen
• Microbial fuel cells
• Methane
• And more
