Biorefinery: A Sustainable Waste Management Solution for the Developing World presents a comprehensive introduction to the new field of biorefinery as a sustainable waste management solution. With an emphasis on developing economies, the book explains how to develop sustainable methods for the collection, sorting, storage, and processing of waste streams for the production of fuels and platform chemicals. The first four chapters introduce the theoretical framework for the analysis of the various waste streams for bioenergy production, with an emphasis in developing countries.

These introductory chapters are followed by a thorough examination of specific waste streams for bioenergy production, addressing every known waste feedstock in detail. Subsequent chapters explain biorefinery concepts for these waste feedstocks, addressing different biorefinery approaches, as well as considering important topics like pretreatment, microorganisms, and value-added products in dedicated chapters. Finally, the book discusses the policies, economics, and strategies for waste management and waste valorization.
