Bioethanol and Natural ResourcesSubstrates Chemistry and Engineered Systems

Bioethanol and Natural ResourcesSubstrates Chemistry and Engineered Systems

Bioethanol and Natural Resources: Substrates Chemistry and Engineered Systems provides a comprehensive review of feedstocks physiochemical and biological pretreatments molecular substrates cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzymes and advanced technologies for producing bioethanol.Although this book provides a review of first-generation bioethanol feedstocks chemistry and processes there is an emphasis on second-generation "cellulosic" ethanol production. With rapid advances in biofuels technologies and the continued global dependency on unsustainable extraction of fossil fuels this text is timely. Although it is intended to be used as a supplemental text for advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses the book is accessible to a non-academic audience. This book provides a unique opportunity to understand bioethanol production from the basic concepts and processes to the most cutting-edge technologies under development.

BioenergyOpportunities and Challenges

BioenergyOpportunities and Challenges

Energy is one of the prime needs of the modern world and energy demands have been rapidly increasing in the recent years owing to rapid advancements in industrialization and population explosion. Conventional fossil fuels are being depleted at rapid rates and the use of conventional sources such as coal or nuclear sources cause several hazards to the environment. New sources of fuel such as bioenergy are an ideal option for fulfilling ever-increasing energy demands. This important book offers an exploration of these alternate fuel sources including biohydrogen microbial fuel cells bioethanol and biodiesel production focusing on the challenges and factors hindering the real-time application of these bioenergy sources.Researchers all over the world are working in this energy sector and this has led to drastic improvements in bioenergy research. However the technology gap between research and industrial application still exists. This important book offers engineers and technologists from different disciplines valuable information on this multifaceted field. The field of bioenergy is interdisciplinary requiring the knowledge of biologists chemists physicists and engineers. Exploring the current trends and future prospects for biofuels the information presented in this book will be valuable to the international industrial community for identifying new options to circumvent problems that exist in bioenergy applications. Topics include: • Thermophilic biohydrogen production• Bio-hydrogen production• Microbial fuel cells as a promising alternative energy source• Microbial fuel cell applications• Potential of Pscillatoria annae in producing bioethanol • Potential of lignocellulosic biofuels • Biodiesel production• Reactor designs for biodesel production• Long-term storage stability of Pongamia pinnata and Jatropha curcus biodiesel

Climate Change and the Governance of CorporationsLessons from the Retail Sector

Climate Change and the Governance of CorporationsLessons from the Retail Sector

Climate change represents the most important environmental challenge of our time. Organisations are responding by implementing governance processes and taking action to reduce their own emissions and the emissions from their supply chains and value chains. Yet very little is known about how these efforts contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (if indeed they make any substantive contribution at all) or about how they might be harnessed to deliver more ambitious reductions in emissions. This book explains when and where particular forms of governance intervention – including internal governance processes and external governance pressures – are likely to impact climate change. From this analysis it offers practical proposals on the climate policy frameworks that need to be in place to facilitate or accelerate changes in corporate behaviour. The book is truly global: it focuses on the world’s 25 largest retailers (including Walmart Tesco Carrefour Sears and Aldi) and is based on detailed interviews with senior managers from these corporations and with key global and national NGOs corporate responsibility experts politicians and regulators. These interviews provide clear insights into how external governance pressures and actions (public opinion regulation incentives) interact with internal governance conditions (management systems and processes corporate policies board/CEO leadership) to change and shape corporate actions on climate change and in turn the climate change impacts of these corporations. This book can be used as a core reference for any courses dealing with corporate governance and business strategy in particular those relating to climate change and to environmental management more generally. It is also of relevance to business practitioners public policy makers investors and NGOs interested in ensuring that companies play a constructive role in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
