Summary

"Biorenewable resources are the dedicated energy corps, agricultural residues, and organic wastes that serve as feedstocks in the production of fuels, chemicals, energy, and materials for the emerging bioeconomy. Biorenewable Resources: Engineering New Products from Agriculture, Second Edition provides a timely, comprehensive overview of the field that incorporates significant advances made over the last decade. Biorenewable Resources: Engineering New Products from Agriculture, Second Edition is thoroughly revised and expanded to better serve the needs to students, professionals, and researchers working on the production and processing of biorenewable resources. Chapters provide grounding in fundamental concepts of engineering thermodynamics and organic chemistry relevant to the field, as well as provide practical guidance in feedstock production, processing, economics, and policy. The second edition of this foundational text will be an essential volume for anyone working in the biorenewables field."-- Back cover.
