Microbial Biofuel: A Sustainable Source of Renewable Energy explores microbial biofuel production from a technical standpoint addressing a wide range of topics including bio alcohol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, biomethane, biohythane, jet fuel, drop-in fuel, bioelectricity, bio-oil, biomass to biofuel, carbon capture, and more.

Each chapter provides an in-depth examination of a specific biofuel type, discussing the underlying science, production processes, challenges, and its potential applications. The title draws examples from the latest research and advancements in the field, including cutting-edge technologies, methodologies, and case studies. It covers advances in fermentation strategies and commercial scale implementation of microbial technology for biofuel production along with comprehensive information on bio alcohol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, biomethane etc. The book explores practical applications of microbial biofuels and uses real life examples and case studies. Moreover, the book addresses sustainability and environmental benefits of using renewable energy.

The title is an ideal read for graduate students and researchers specialising in bioenergy and chemical engineering.

Shashi Kant Bhatia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Engineering, Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea, and has more than ten years’ experience in biowastes valorization into bioenergy, biochemicals, and biomaterials. He holds an MSc and a PhD in biotechnology at Himachal Pradesh University (India). Dr. Bhatia has worked as a Brain Pool Post Doc Fellow at Konkuk University (2014–2016) and has contributed extensively to the industrial press and served as an editorial board member of Sustainability and Energies journal and associate editor of Frontier of Microbiology, Microbial Cell Factories, Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, Carbohydrate Technology and Applications, 3 Biotech, and PLOS One journals. Parmjit S. Panesar is working as Professor and Dean (Planning and Development), Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology Longowal, Punjab, India. Professor Panesar has also worked as Dean (Research and Consultancy), and Head, Department of Food Engineering & Technology, SLIET Longowal, India. His research is focused in the area of Food Biotechnology especially bioprocessing of food industry by-products, food enzymes, prebiotics (lactulose, GOS), biopigments etc. In 2005, he has been awarded BOYSCAST (Better Opportunities for Young Scientists in Chosen Areas of Science and Technology) fellowship by Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India, to carry out advance research at Chembiotech labs, University of Birmingham Research Park, UK. Ranjit Gurav is an Associate Professor at UPES Dehradun, India. He received his PhD in Biotechnology in 2013 and has since conducted extensive research for a decade in various countries, including the USA, South Korea, India, and China. Throughout his career, he has held roles such as Associate Professor, Research Professor, Assistant Professor, Postdoctoral Research Associate, and Young Scientist, contributing significantly to advancements in his field. His research primarily focuses on harnessing agriculture and food industry waste biomass, and by-products to produce bioelectricity, polyhydroxyalkanoates, biodiesel, exopolysaccharides, and biohydrogen.
