Lignocellulosic Waste Management: Climate Change and Sustainability Perspectives

This book addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with the management of lignocellulosic waste in the context of climate change and sustainability. This book addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with the management of lignocellulosic waste in the context of climate change and sustainability. The book is divided into three sections exploring the potential of lignocellulosic waste biorefineries, examining waste management strategies in the face of climate change, and providing insightful case studies showcasing innovative waste management systems. It discusses bioprocessing techniques for converting lignocellulosic waste into fuels and chemicals, the application of laccase in lignocellulose degradation, and the utilization of microbes for developing biofertilizers from crop stubble waste. The chapters also examine the influence of climate change and emerging pollutants on agro-residue composting processes and the resulting compost quality. Towards the end, the book presents real-world examples of innovative waste management systems. This book would be useful for a wide range of professionals, researchers, policymakers, educators, and students seeking to deepen their understanding of waste management, climate change mitigation, and sustainable practices in the context of lignocellulosic waste. Key Features: Provides comprehensive coverage of lignocellulosic waste management and climate change Focuses on climate change resilience and the role of waste management in mitigating environmental impacts Presents insights into sustainable practices and circular economy approaches Examines in-depth exploration of bioprocessing and bioconversion techniques Includes practical strategies for converting waste into valuable resources, including fuels and chemicals
