Agricultural Waste to Value-Added Products: Bioproducts and Its Applications
暫譯: 農業廢棄物轉化為增值產品：生物產品及其應用

這本書提供了利用農業廢棄物來協助可持續發展目標（SDGs）的認識，透過適應這些廢棄物轉化為能源的技術。書中討論了從農業衍生廢棄物中產生的生物燃料的合成、特徵化及環境利用。還探討了循環經濟的應用、近期問題的見解與機會，以及增強農業廢棄物衍生產品潛力的想法。

約三分之一的生物質廢棄物來自農業，使其成為全球生物質廢棄物的最大來源之一。不同的生化和熱化學過程可以將這些廢棄物轉化為各種增值產品。這種生物質轉化為生物燃料的趨勢在全球能源系統中已獲得顯著地位。而農業廢棄物衍生的產品可以為各種環境問題提供潛在解決方案。

主要讀者將是從事農業殘留物管理及廢棄物轉化為能源領域的學者、研究人員、工程師、科學家和管理人員。
