BioEnergy and BioChemicals Production from Biomass and Residual Resources
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "BioEnergy and BioChemicals Production from Biomass and Residual Resources" that was published in Energies
Biomass Utilization: Conversion Strategies
This book focuses on the technologies developed for the conversion of all three biomass components, i.e. cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and their constituents, to fuels and high-value products. Both biochemical and thermochemical approaches are reviewed. Additionally, the developed technologies are described in detail and their potential applications as well as their commercial status are discussed. The early attempts to produce fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass feedstock focused solely on the biological conversion of cellulose because the only organism that had been used successfully for commercial production of ethanol, i.e. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, could only ferment glucos...
Biomass Processing for Biofuels, Bioenergy and Chemicals
Biomass can be used to produce renewable electricity, thermal energy, transportation fuels (biofuels), and high-value functional chemicals. As an energy source, biomass can be used either directly via combustion to produce heat or indirectly after it is converted to one of many forms of bioenergy and biofuel via thermochemical or biochemical pathways. The conversion of biomass can be achieved using various advanced methods, which are broadly classified into thermochemical conversion, biochemical conversion, electrochemical conversion, and so on. Advanced development technologies and processes are able to convert biomass into alternative energy sources in solid (e.g., charcoal, biochar, and R...
Recuerdos de una alianza
Estamos frente a una obra colectiva muy interesante para generaciones actuales y futuras. Tal vez es una osada síntesis de nuestra ya longeva relación con instituciones francesas, tanto de formación e investigación en ingeniería, como de cooperación diplomática y académica. Es resultado de la clara voluntad de avanzar por parte de una joven Universidad llena de ilusiones y de jóvenes profesores y líderes dispuestos a tomar riesgos: la Universidad de los Andes y su Facultad de Ingeniería de los años sesenta y setenta. La República de Francia, con una visión de mediano y largo plazo, identificó un espacio para que, con base en la construcción de mayores capacidades científicas...
PRCT. Plan de revitalización del Centro Tradicional de Bogotá
El Plan de Revitalización del Centro Tradicional es, en estricto sentido, un plan urbano de carácter estratégico que supera el tradicional “plan-documento” para trabajar desde el enfoque de planificar haciendo y hacer planificando. Incluye, pero trasciende, la actualización y generación de nuevos instrumentos para la protección del valioso patrimonio cultural del centro histórico y algunos sectores periféricos que constituyen su área de influencia inmediata, alcanzando una superficie total de 470 hectáreas. El Laboratorio Urbano creado para este fin permite la experimentación, desde la perspectiva del proyecto urbano, y genera, de este modo, resultados concretos y paralel...
Biodiversity Islands: Strategies for Conservation in Human-Dominated Environments
This book is intended to provide an overview for the identification and establishment of biodiversity islands. It presents examples and case studies where the biodiversity islands approach is being used in a variety of locations and contexts worldwide. It will contribute to design parameters on appropriate sizing and spatial distribution of biodiversity islands in order to be effective in conservation and regeneration across the landscape, using integrated landscape management approaches. This book is essential given the current worldwide trend of habitat destruction and the need to preserve biodiversity and its values. The chapters are organized in five sections. The first section provides ...
Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban and Rural Development
“Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban and Rural Development” offers some of the latest international scientific and practitioner findings around the adaptation of urban, rural and transportation infrastructures to climate change by sustainable water management. This book addresses the main gaps in the up-to-date literature and provides the reader with a holistic view, ranging from a strategic and multiscale planning, implementation and decision-making angle down to the engineering details for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green stormwater techniques such as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and stormwater control measures (SCMs). This book is p...
