Full Description
Presents cutting-edge advances in consolidated bioprocessing for next-generation bioenergy
The urgent need to transition towards renewable, low-carbon energy sources has brought consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) into sharp focus as a potential game-changer in sustainable fuel production. CBP integrates multiple stages of biomass conversion—pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation—into a single step, reducing both costs and resource use. Yet, despite its promise, progress towards large-scale deployment has been slow due to challenges in efficiency and scalability. Consolidated Bioprocessing for Sustainable Fuel Production addresses these critical barriers, providing both a theoretical foundation and practical insights into one of the most innovative approaches in modern bioenergy research.
Divided into thirteen detailed chapters by leading researchers, the book begins by contextualising industrial bioenergy production and outlining the biochemical processes underlying fuel generation. It explores microbial communities central to CBP, strategies for overcoming process limitations, and advanced reactor design for optimised production. Case studies illustrate real-world applications of CBP at commercial scale, whilst techno-economic analyses highlight pathways to viability. The discussion extends beyond the laboratory to consider socio-economic and environmental impacts, positioning CBP as a pivotal tool in building sustainable biorefineries.
Equipping readers with both the knowledge and perspective to advance green energy technologies, Consolidated Bioprocessing for Sustainable Fuel Production:
Explores microbial ecology and enzyme systems essential for efficient biomass conversion
Provides detailed analysis of reactor design and optimisation for CBP processes
Examines techno-economic challenges with clear recommendations for cost reduction
Features real-world examples demonstrating CBP applications at industrial and pilot scales
Offers future research directions for improving CBP efficiency and scalability
Consolidated Bioprocessing for Sustainable Fuel Production is an essential resource for postgraduate students, researchers, and professionals in Bioprocess Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Renewable Energy. It is particularly well-suited to advanced modules in bioenergy and process design within MSc and PhD programmes, and serves as an authoritative reference for industry practitioners developing sustainable fuel technologies.
