Foreword
Fossil fuel’s limited life span and its non-favorable environmental impact make it an
undesirable fuel and open a new avenue for an alternative fuel option to replace
it. The alternative energy option may be considered as a kind of fuel which is
renewable, resource able, and sustainable by nature. Additionally, it may have either
zero or very low negative environmental effect. In this series, bioenergy production
from renewable biomass is one and least attractive, long-term feasible, and ultimate
goal. Nevertheless, the area of bioenergy is very classic and ancient, the research in
this is still in the beginning to a better stage, and even the researcher still tries hard
for its practical sustainability in the long run. There are some potential bioenergy
options such as bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, bio-methane, and biohydrogen which
are closed to commercial step in comparison to other bioenergy options like
biobutanol, biomethanol, and algal biofuels which have tremendous potential, still
in basic research exploring phase. For the commercial implication of these bioenergy
options, there are a number of factors which hindered their “on-road feasibility” and
need to be resolved for final commercialization.
The publication of the book entitled Bioenergy Research: Revisiting Latest
Development is one of the other important efforts by the editors of the book after
Volume-I in a way to enhance the quality and sustainability of bioenergy options.
This book Volume-II is an expanded version of Volume-I and has discussed more
prominent issues and options related to bioenergy production technologies.
I am completely satisfied to pen this message and want to heartily congratulate the
deep efforts of the editors as this book is a milestone for the researchers, academician, and industries working in this area. The book uncovers ten potential and
in-depth chapters with broad area cover and justified explanation in the chosen
area with feasible solutions to remove the technical hurdles which block the commercialization of these potential bioenergy options. As it is based on Volume-I, this
book also covers recent insight in the research of various existing potential
bioenergy options from their basic to future prospects only in terms of improving
this option at a commercial scale. The book will be definitely an asset for the people
involved in academic, research, and industries.
