Series: Woodhead Series in Bioenergy

Advanced Transport Biofuels: Production, Economics, and Sustainability provides a comprehensive review of the latest in the global production, economics, and sustainability of advanced transport biofuels. Drawing upon the latest developments in academia and industry globally, the book reviews biofuels policy and the technoeconomics of biofuels production. The technical considerations in the combustion of biofuels are discussed alongside the latest lab-scale and industrial-level combustion property testing using biofuels and biojet fuels. Finally, a lifecycle analysis of biofuel production is conducted related to the sustainability issues in production.

This is an invaluable review of the current state of the biofuels industry, policies, technologies, and economic and sustainability issues related to biofuels applications that will be of interest to graduate students and researchers involved in the development and implementation of alternative fuels in the transportation industry. The book will also be of interest to professional engineers and policymakers working in the automotive industry and involved in the application of alternative fuels.

After his PhD, he served as a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia before moving to China-UK Low Carbon College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2018. His research interests include fundamental combustion, alternative fuels and thermo-chemical conversion technology and gas turbine combustion technology. To date, Dr. Chong has published more than 150 peer-reviewed technical papers. He is listed as the Top 2% researcher in the world (2020, 2021) in the Stanford University’s Scientist List. He was awarded the Royal Society-Newton Advanced Fellowship (2016) and was recognized as an Outstanding ASEAN Science Diplomat (2018). Dr. Chong has served as the guest editors of ENERGY (Elsevier), Journal of Biotechnology (Elsevier) and Jurnal Teknologi, and associate editor of Frontiers in Energy Research He obtained his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (First-class Honours) and PhD from the University of Nottingham. His research interests cover renewable fuel productions, chemical kinetics of transesterification reaction, combustion reaction mechanisms, biodiesel lubricity, CFD simulation of diesel engines, and energy-water-food nexus for sustainability. As such, he considers himself a Green Engineer as they link to green technologies. He also serves as an Associate Editor for Carbon Neutrality (Springer) and two other journals. He is also a Fellow of the Advance Higher Education Academy (UK) and previously served the faculty by providing training to new academics as the USMC Leader of Postgraduate Certificate for Academic Practice.
