INDUSTRIAL BIORENEWABLES
A Practical Viewpoint
This unique text provides an in-depth industrial view in its discussion of industrial biorenewables; industries report on real cases of biorenewables, dealing with economics, the motivation of implementing industrial biorenewable-based processes, and suggestions for further improvement and research.
- Includes industrial perspectives by scientists working on biorenewable technology in industry, with a clear commercial focus
- Spans basic research to commercialization of processes and everything in between
- Provides key information for academic groups working in the area by covering the way industrial scientists tackle problems
- Showcases patented technologies across diverse industries, shares the motivation of implementing industrial biorenewable-based processes, and suggests options for further improvement and research
- Serves as a guide for industries and academic groups, providing crucial information for the setup of future biobased industrial concepts
Industrial Biorenewables provides a state-of-the-art perspective, offering a unique viewpoint from which a range of industries report on real cases of biorenewables, demonstrate their technologies, share the motivation of implementing a certain industrial biorenewable-based processes, and suggest options for further improvement and research. With an in-depth industrial viewpoint, the book serves as a key guide for industries and academic groups, providing crucial information for the setup of future biobased industrial concepts.

Preface
The use of biogenic resources for the production of biofuels and chemicals is presently a tendency worldwide. Different largely available raw materials – lignocellulosic derivatives, agricultural residues, starch, CO2, or algae, to cite some of them – are being thoroughly investigated as potential renewable resources to reach sustainability targets while keeping (and extending) high life quality standards. Reasons for this trend can be found in the need of replacing fossil-based resources – due to environmental issues, availability, and geopolitical strategies – while tackling challenges of an increasing (over) population in the planet at the same time.
Being quite a broad and heterogeneous field, research on renewables is currently performed at academia from different perspectives, with emphasis on (bio) catalysis, process development, and feedstock valorization, among other important topics. Interestingly, the industry has also taken the lead in research, development, innovation, and process implementation using renewable resources. Actually, the industrial penetration for renewable raw materials is larger than what one could primarily expect, with a variety of outstanding examples of well-integrated biorefineries at industrial level already in use since decades. Novel products and processes are being implemented each year.
There are many excellent and comprehensive books and review articles covering the key aspects of the use of renewables to deliver biofuels and chemicals. To complement these, the motivation of this book is to give a more practical perspective to the renewables field. Thus, this book has been envisioned to be directly written by industrialists to firsthand describe their own current and underdevelopment (technical) processes, as well as their techno-economic goals. Likewise, their critical reflections and challenge identification lead to a real vision on how renewables must/should be set up on fluctuating markets in unstable global frameworks.
