The Role of Green Chemistry in Biomass Processing and Conversion
Taking millions of years to form, fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources; it is estimated that they will be depleted by the end of this century.
Moreover, the production and use of fossil fuels have resulted in considerable environmental harm. The generation of environmentally friendly energy from renewable sources such as biomass is therefore essential. This book focuses on the integration of green chemistry concepts into biomass processes and conversion in order to take full advantage of the potential of biomass to replace nonsustainable resources and meet global needs for fuel as well as other chemicals and materials.
