Biorefineries : an introduction

Biorefineries : an introduction /

Replacing fossil fuels with renewable resources is a major challenge these days. This book presents the basic science and technologies used to convert terrestrial and aquatic biomass into fuels and chemicals. The value chain for biomass conversion into platform molecules and their transformation int...
