Sugarcane Biorefinery
(Publisher’s Review)
Sugarcane Biorefinery, Technology and Perspectives provides the reader with a current view of the global scenario of sugarcane biorefinery, launching a new expectation on this important crop from a chemical, energy and sustainability point of view. The book explores the different current biorefinery platforms that can be used to convert sugarcane to new high value added products. It also addresses one of today’s most controversial issues involving energy cane, in addition to the dilemma “sugar cane VS food VS environment”, adding even more value in a culture that is already a symbol of case study around the world.
Focusing on the chemical composition of sugarcane, and the production and processes that optimize it for either agricultural or energy use, the book is designed to provide practical insights for current application as well as inspiring further exploration of options for balancing food and fuel demands.
Faced with today’s environmental and socioeconomic problems, with great social concerns such as global warming and gradual reduction of fossil fuels, sugarcane presents as one of the great solutions because of its high productive capacity in terms of biomass and chemical and energetic composition favorable to its conversion into value-added products through the biorefinery processes.
