Applied High Pressure Technologies in Biomass Conversion

Biomass is created by green plants that convert sunlight into plant material over photosynthesis and contains all soil and water-based vegetation, as well as all organic waste. Biomass resource can be considered as organic matter in which sunlight energy is contained in chemical bonds. The use of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly important if we are to bring about the improvements needed to address the impacts of global warming. The book presents a broad overview of the key processes and conversion pathways being considered in biorefineries, and how high-pressure CO2 and CO2/H2O mixtures may help address some of the challenges associated with the conversion of biomass.
