| book description |
""Enzymes Applied in Biofuels Production: New Technologies and Innovation"" is a comprehensive exploration of the cutting-edge role enzymes play in the evolving biofuels industry. This book opens with an insightful overview of the global energy crisis and the urgent need for renewable energy [SS1]Â sources, setting the stage for the crucial role of biofuels in achieving sustainable energy solutions. The book is organized in three parts: Part I provides a foundational understanding of enzymes, detailing their biological functions, mechanisms of action, and specificity. The book highlights the primary enzymes utilized in biofuel production, such as cellulases, hemicellulases, amylases, ligninolytic enzymes and lipases, and their natural sources from microorganisms to plants. It emphasizes the importance of these enzymes in breaking down biomass into fermentable sugars, crucial for producing bioethanol and biodiesel. Part II Â is dedicated to innovative technologies in enzyme engineering and production. It covers advancements in genetic engineering, protein engineering, and enzyme immobilization and nanotechnology techniques that have enhanced the efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness of enzymes in industrial biofuel applications. The integration of these technologies into biorefineries and the challenges associated with scaling up production processes are thoroughly examined. Part III delves into the market dynamics of biofuels, analyzing current market trends, economic viability, and policy frameworks that influence the adoption of enzymatic biofuel production. It discusses the competitive landscape, highlighting key players and emerging startups driving innovation in the field. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and students, offering a blend of scientific knowledge, practical insights, and market analysis to foster innovation and growth in the biofuels sector.
