Agroenergy: Renewable and Sustainable Energy presents developments in agroenergy. With a particular focus on sustainability, each section of the book – crop productivity, biofuel production based on feedstock generation, and bioenergy production technologies – addresses different aspects of the agroenergetic production chain, identifying strategies for enhanced yields and reduced risks. Sample sections explain the theoretical and economic aspects related to crop productivity, along with issues related to circular economy, lifecycle assessments, and impacts of future climate scenarios. Other chapters discuss biofuel production based on feedstock generation, describe the valorization of biomass residues, address pretreatment issues, and more.

This book will be of interest to scientists, researchers, engineers, industrial practitioners, graduate and postgraduate students, and anyone working in any agroenergy sector.

Lina María Grajales Agudelo is Assistant Professor IV at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) in Brazil. She is part of the undergraduate course in Food Engineering and the Graduate Program in Digital Agroenergy, and works on the development of bioreactors for solid-state fermentation aimed at producing biofuels using agro-industrial residues as substrates. Dr. Grajales Agudelo is the Coordinator of the Support Group for Foreigners (GAE) and the leader of the "Bioreactor Engineering" (GeBio) Research Group at the same university. She is a chemical engineer who graduated from the National University of Colombia (UNAL) and holds a master's and doctoral degree in Engineering and Food Science respectively, both from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil. Her dissertation and thesis focused on the development of rotary drum bioreactors for solid-state fermentation. She co-edited a book on Agroenergy with Elsevier, which published in 2023. Graduated in Mechanical Engineering from "Universidad de Oriente. Santiago de Cuba-CUBA holds a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from State University of Campinas-SP, Brazil (UNICAMP) and a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from State University of Campinas -SP, Brazil (UNICAMP). He is currently a Full Professor at the Federal University of Tocantins Foundation (UFT) Brazil. He has experience in Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis on Materials and Manufacturing Processes, acting on obtaining composite materials and sustainable development. Specialist in Irrigation Engineering from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), holds a master’s degree in Genetics and Plant Breeding from the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), a Doctorate in Applied Ecology from the University of São Paulo (USP), and a Postdoctoral internship in Phytotechnics in the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) by the PROCAD-AM program. He is an Associate Professor at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). He teaches in the Undergraduate Program in Environmental Engineering and in the Graduate Program in Digital Agroenergy. He has experience in scientific research in the area of Agricultural Sciences and the Environment, with an emphasis on Planning and Management in Agricultural Science, Technology and Innovation, Genetic Improvement of Plants, and Phytotechnics. He is currently developing work focusing on agroenergy crops, agroclimatic zoning, carbon storage, and environmental changes.
