Fuel Production with Heterogeneous Catalysis

Fuel Production with Heterogeneous Catalysis presents the groundbreaking discoveries, recent developments, and future perspectives of one of the most important areas of renewable energy research-the heterogeneous catalytic production of fuels. Comprised of chapters authored by leading experts in the field, this authoritative text: * Focuses primarily on the state-of-the-art catalysts and catalytic processes anticipated to play a pivotal role in the production of fuels * Describes production of fuels from renewable sources using environmentally friendly technologies * Exposes the advantages and disadvantages of each production process * Suggests solutions to minimize the impact of fuel transportation * Conveys the importance of catalysis for the sustainable production of fuels Fuel Production with Heterogeneous Catalysis delivers a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art of the heterogeneous catalytic production of fuels, providing reaction mechanism schemes, engineering solutions, valuable industry insights, and more.

Review:

... gives a global vision of an important, emergent research issue. ... To the best of my knowledge, no other books published so far cover all the main catalytic processes for fuel production. -Eduardo J. Garcia-Suarez, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby
