Renewable Diesel: Value Chain, Sustainability and Challenges presents a holistic reference on the production of renewable diesel, from the fundamentals to state-of-the-art. In addition to an in-depth assessment of biomass conversation processes and available technologies, the book also considers the engineering and mathematical aspects such as design, economics, and sustainability. Production processes, fuel properties, and fuel quality standards are all addressed in detail alongside state-of-the-art information on conversion routes, catalysts, combustion characteristics, emission profile, techno-economic and life-cycle appraisal, and integration of renewable diesel production into existing refineries. A dedicated chapter on biodiesel and hydroprocessed vegetable oil offers a comparative analysis with conventional biodiesel pro's and con's. Finally, readers are provided with an overview of the techno-economic, environmental, logistical, and strategic hurdles and opportunities in the commercialization and marketability of renewable diesel. Renewable Diesel: Value Chain, Sustainability and Challenges provides readers with a unique and comprehensive reference on the production of renewable diesel that will be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals involved in bioenergy and renewable energy, and may be of interest to interdisciplinary teams working across biotechnology, chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science, and sustainability sciences.
