Emerging Biofuels: Stationary and Mobile Applications presents a comprehensive assessment of supply chains and conversion pathways of the promising biofuels in the 21st century. Highlighting the potential of emerging biofuels, the book covers the latest breakthroughs and process intensification strategies for the development of near to mid-term commercialization. Chapters provide readers with an overview of emerging biofuels, key advantages, and major drivers for the biofuel industry. The majority of the book is dedicated to assessing each emerging biofuel, including renewable diesel, bio-CNG, 3rd generation lignocellulosic ethanol, fisher-tropsch biofuels, biohydrogen, microalgal biodiesel, bio jet fuel, hythane, methanol, and bio-oil, dimethyl ether, and more. The final chapters of the book examine techno-economic viability, sustainability, and the lifecycle of selected biofuel through detailed case studies while also analyzing international policy frameworks for biofuels. This book is a valuable reference for students, researchers and industry engineers involved in biofuels production, but will also be of interest to multidisciplinary teams working across Renewable Energy, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science and Sustainability Science.

Dr. Sonil Nanda is a Research Associate in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He received his Ph.D. degree in Biology from York University, Canada; M.Sc. degree in Applied Microbiology from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT University), India; and B.Sc. degree in Microbiology from Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, India. Dr. Nanda’s research areas are related to the production of advanced biofuels and biochemicals through thermochemical and biochemical conversion technologies such as gasification, pyrolysis, carbonization and fermentation. He has gained expertise in hydrothermal gasification of a wide variety of organic wastes and biomass including agricultural and forestry residues, industrial effluents, municipal solid wastes, cattle manure, sewage sludge and food wastes to produce hydrogen fuel. His parallel interests are also in the generation of hydrothermal flames for the treatment of hazardous wastes, agronomic applications of biochar, phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils, as well as carbon capture and sequestration. Dr. Nanda has published over 80 peer-reviewed journal articles, 30 book chapters and has presented at many international conferences. Dr. Nanda serves as a Fellow Member of the Society for Applied Biotechnology in India, as well as a Life Member of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers; Association of Microbiologists of India; Indian Science Congress Association; and the Biotech Research Society of India. He is also an active member of several chemical engineering societies across North America such as the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Chemical Institute of Canada, and the Combustion Institute-Canadian Section. Dr. Nanda is an Assistant Subject Editor for the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier). He has also edited several Special Issues in renowned journals such as the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier), Chemical Engineering Science (Elsevier) Waste and Biomass Valorization (Springer), Topics in Catalysis (Springer), SN Applied Sciences (Springer), Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery (Springer), and Chemical Engineering & Technology (Wiley). Dr. Goud is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at I I T Guwahati. He completed his Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur in 2006. Principal research interests of Dr. Goud are in the fields of Extraction of Natural Plant Products (Essential oils, Oleoresins, Food Colors, Biopesticides, Nutraceuticals, and Cosmeceuticals) by using Subcritical and Supercritical fluids as well as the processing of non-edible oilseeds, Biomass for production of Bio-fuels, Bio-lubricants, and Oleo-chemicals. He has published more than 125 papers in international peer-reviewed journals that have received more than 6889 citations (with an h-index of 31) and 14 book chapters and made presentations of his research in several national/ international conferences. He is a life member of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, Sea buckthorn Association of India, and the International Society of Food Engineering. Professor Dalai has authored/co-authored over 550 research papers in international journals, book chapters and conference proceedings, has written over 180 research reports for funding agencies, and has presented over 500 papers at national and international conferences in addition to over 135 invited seminars at conferences and institutions. Dr. Dalai is one of the top funded Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) researchers in Canada and regularly receives funding from a variety of government and industry partners, such as Western Economic Diversification, Saskatchewan Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Syncrude Canada Ltd., SaskCanola, Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission (SMDC), Sask Power, Natural Resources Canada, Saskatchewan Research Council, Imperial Oil, Petro Canada, Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), BioFuel Net, Agricultural Biomass Innovation Network, and Western Economic. His scholarly contributions have received well over 20000 citations with an h index of 70.
