Sustainable Technologies for Value Addition to Biomass Waste presents the latest sustainable technologies for value additions to waste biomass in the form of various commercial products such as biofuels, materials, and microbial products and management. The book discusses in detail the sustainable production technologies of each value-added product transformed from waste biomass along with advanced methodology, reactor/fermenter design, sustainable strategies, commercial feasibility, limitations, prospects, and applications. The book also includes the physicochemical composition of biomass waste resources used for producing the value-added products and their variation. It elucidates the sustainable technologies for biomass waste management and recycling as well as marine biomass, offering a comprehensive overview of the subject and its potential for driving the transition to a circular and sustainable economy. Additionally, the book provides an in-depth examination of the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for sustainable waste biomass management. By showcasing the life cycle assessment of waste generation and production processes, readers will gain valuable insights into achieving sustainability objectives. These advancements leverage energy-intensive processes to convert waste biomass into valuable products, thereby reducing waste accumulation, conserving resources, and mitigating environmental pollution.
