Call for Chapters | Biomass to Bioenergy: Technological Approaches and Material Science of Plant-Based Fuels
This forthcoming book is part of the CSMFL Scholarly Collection Series, which features high-quality academic works addressing contemporary global challenges through interdisciplinary research.
The transition toward a low-carbon, sustainable future depends heavily on renewable energy innovations. Among available alternatives, plant-based biomass represents a promising, versatile, and renewable resource for clean energy production. This edited volume will serve as a comprehensive reference bridging biomass conversion technology with advances in material science. It explores the synergy between biochemical and thermochemical pathways, nanomaterials, catalysts, reactor design, and biotechnological improvements in energy crops.
The book brings together researchers, engineers, and academicians across biotechnology, materials engineering, and energy systems, addressing both foundational science and applied innovations in the bioenergy sector.
