The book begins by examining the role of these crops as feedstock for bioenergy, in particular advanced biofuels and bioproducts. It then offers five chapters, each covering one perennial grass type, namely giant reed, miscanthus, switchgrass, reed canary grass and bamboo. The book covers their breeding, cultivation, harvesting, pre-treatment, economics and characterization. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book goes on to present the thermochemical conversion pathways for different types of feedstock. The last chapter explores issues concerning sustainability of perennial grasses, including their production in marginal lands. This thorough overview is a helpful reference for engineering researchers and professionals in the bioenergy sector, whose understanding of feedstock characterization, sustainability and production is critical in the development of conversion technologies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThose in the industrial crops sector will benefit from discussion of various issues surrounding crop production, which can guide their feedstock cultivation, harvesting and pre-treatment for specific conversion processes or end use. The book is also a useful resource for instructors and students in Masters and PhD programs in the area of biomass and energy crops. Policy makers and government agents involved in regulating the bioenergy and bioproducts sector will find comprehensive information to guide their decision making.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091717742743,"sku":"9780128129005","price":8694.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780128129005.webp?v=1769204935","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/perennial-grasses-for-bioenergy-and-bioproducts-production-uses-sustainability-and-markets-for-giant-reed-miscanthus-switchgrass-reed-canary-grass-and-bamboo-1ed-9780128129005","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
