This book delves into the critical intersection of waste management, bioenergy production, and the pursuit of a sustainable global future through the process of valorization. Waste valorization is the process of reusing, recycling, or composting waste materials and converting them into more useful products, including materials, chemicals, fuels, or other sources of energy. The urgent environmental issues surrounding the increasing accumulation of solid waste and the necessity to shift towards cleaner energy sources have led to a thorough investigation into the conversion of solid waste into biofuels and valuable chemical products.
This book compiles different dimensions of waste valuation for the sustainable environment, including a comprehensive description of the complex chemical composition of various types of municipal, agricultural, and industrial solid wastes, their potential as feedstock, their environmental impact, and conversion technologies. The book also covers challenges associated with waste management and green production technology for biofuel and chemicals from these wastes. The focus extends to evaluating the feasibility of these strategies on a large scale, assessing their economic viability, addressing challenges encountered in their implementation, and offering insights into the prospects of these innovative approaches. It further elucidates the life cycle assessment of the valorization of different waste types for biofuels and chemicals and the contribution of these wastes to the circular economy. The book examines cutting-edge technologies and methodologies for converting solid waste materials into biofuels, such as biodiesel, bioethanol, and biogas, and valuable chemical products along with each deterring factor, commercial feasibility, future perspective, economics, its environmental impact, and integral management policy.
This book serves as a guide for students, academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals interested in the innovative and sustainable utilization of solid waste for the betterment of the environment and society.
