Publisher Description This book addresses the potential of the transformation of biomass into a wide range of marketable products, and examines the biological, biochemical, physical and thermal processing of biomass into products such as fuels, power, heat, feeds, chemicals and materials. Respective chapters explore various topics including biomass characterization, biomass pre-conditioning and sustainability analysis, aspects that are supplemented by a global overview of their implementation in current pilot bio-refineries. Providing a valuable resource to energy engineers, chemical engineers, biotechnologists and economists, this book will also be of great interest to students and policymakers.

Has been awarded with 7 prizes, including the best mechanical engineering internship and the 3M prize for innovation. Areas of interest are new fuels; biomass; alternative road vehicle simulation; energy and environment impacts; life cycle assessment, indicators for sustainable mobility.Ana Ferreira is a Post-doctoral in the area of Environment and Energy at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). She graduated and obtained her master degree in Chemistry, in the environmental area of analysis of atmospheric aerosols and atmospheric exposure, at Faculty of Science of University of Lisbon in 2005 and 2008, respectively. In 2013 completed her PhD in Environmental Engineering at IST of University of Lisbon. Currently she is a Post-doctoral researcher at Institute of Mechanical Engineering of IST, on alternative biomass and biofuels. She has more than 11 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, 1 book chapter and more than 28 papers in international conferences. She has participated in more than 5 national and international projects, including a Cost Action, in the area of Environment and Energy. She has been awarded third place in YEAR 2012 – The Young European Arena of Research during the Transportation Research Arena (TRA2012) in Athens, in 2012. Areas of interest are biomass, biomass conversion (e.g. combustion and pyrolysis), pollutant emissions, biofuels, energy and environment and life cycle assessment Miriam Rabaçal is a Post-Doc researcher at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisboa, Portugal, and was a collaborator of the IDMEC/IST research institute from 2010 until she became an integrated member in 2016. She received a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from IST in 2010. During her master thesis project,she held an Initiation to Research grant while working on small-scale biomass pellets combustion. After a four months internship in Karunya University, Coimbatore, India, she returned to IST to pursue her PhD studies supported a FCT PhD grant on Large Eddy Simulations of coal and biomass combustion. During her PhD studies, she spent six months in Imperial College London, 18 months in Duisburg Essen University and three months in TUB Freiberg for collaborative research on her PhD topic. She received her PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2016. She participated in more than five international and national research projects in the areas of High Performance Computing, Combustion and Energy. She has nine papers in international peer-reviewed journals, one book chpater and 24 communications in international scientific meetings.
