Torrefaction : Biomass Upgrading for Sustainable Bioenergy Production
local_shippingShip to Me
Overview
Advance biomass torrefaction from laboratory research to industrial decarbonization
Scaling torrefaction from lab-scale research to commercial deployment requires integrated knowledge of reactor design, process optimization, and techno-economic viability. Torrefaction: Biomass Upgrading for Sustainable Bioenergy Production addresses this need by covering scientific fundamentals, catalytic enhancement, machine learning-based process control, and integration with direct air capture systems. Global case studies ground the treatment in real-world application.
The book examines torrefaction's role in hydrogen production, battery materials, and carbon-negative technologies. Life cycle assessment and techno-economic analyses quantify environmental and financial outcomes, while chapters on carbon credit generation and circular bioeconomy strategies position torrefaction within broader industrial decarbonization frameworks. Reactor design principles and feedstock-specific process parameters provide directly applicable engineering guidance.
Readers will also find:
- Analysis of torrefied biomass properties including energy density, hydrophobicity, and carbon content for co-firing and standalone combustion applications
- Strategies for integrating torrefaction into existing industrial energy systems to support net-zero emissions targets and cleaner fuel transitions
- Coverage of carbon footprint analysis methods and their application to torrefaction processes across different biomass feedstocks and conditions
- Techno-economic frameworks for evaluating commercial scalability, investment viability, and policy alignment of torrefaction at industrial scale
- Discussion of emerging applications such as biochar for environmental remediation, soil amendment, and value-added product development beyond energy
Designed for bioenergy researchers, process engineers, sustainability managers, R&D scientists, and policy analysts, this volume combines technical depth and application-oriented guidance to advance torrefaction technology. It serves as a reference for academic investigation and a practical resource for industrial implementation and clean energy policy development.
