fossil fuels, increased greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, global warming and climate 
change have drawn much attention around the globe to seek alternative energy sources that 
have negligible environmental impacts and societal benefits. There is an immense interest in 
biofuels research around the world due to their massive potentials in addressing the abovementioned environmental concerns. Biofuels have the potential to supplement the current 
and future energy demands by being blended with fossil fuels or replacing them completely 
as drop-in fuels in automobiles as well as heat and power industries. Waste biomass, primarily lignocellulosic biomass (e.g. agricultural crop residues, forestry biomass and energy 
crops) and microalgae, can act as some cheapest renewable biosources for the production of 
biofuels and biochemicals. The prime focus of this book is to shed light on the bioprocessing 
of biofuels, especially through microbial conversion technologies to recover and transform 
the inedible polysaccharides into hydrocarbons biofuels and bioenergy.
The major subject areas discussed in this book are bioprospecting of bioresources 
for biofuel production (Chapter 1) including specific topics on biomass pretreatment and 
saccharification (Chapter 2), bioethanol (Chapter 3), biobutanol (Chapter 4), biomethanol (Chapter 5), biohydrogen (Chapter 6), algal biofuels (Chapter 7) and microbial fuel 
cells (Chapter 8). This book provides introductory synopses on the above-mentioned topics for applications in several cross-disciplinary areas of biotechnology, (bio) catalysis, 
fermentation technology, bioprocess engineering, chemical engineering and environmental 
sciences with a common agenda on biofuels and bioenergy. We express our sincere thanks 
to Ms. Renu Upadhyay (Assistant Commissioning Editor) and Ms. Shikha Garg (Editorial 
Assistant) from CRC Press for their enthusiastic assistance while developing this book. 4aPertanian, bioprocessing, biofuels0 aSonil Nanda  aPerpustakaan Pusat Polbangtan Malang
