Preface
Nowadays,therearegrowingconcernsabouttheconsumptionofresourcesandthe
impact caused by the conversion of these resources into good and services. At
present, biomass seems to be a suitable alternative material for the production of
many value-added products. However, its sustainability has been not examined. In
this regard, the biorefinery concept offers an opportunity to develop a bio-based
economy, given the series of value-added products that can be obtained from this
facility.
A biorefinery is a facility that integrates biomass conversion processes and
equipment to produce biomaterials (activated carbon, animal feed, etc.); fuels/
power (e.g. biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, methane, gasification, direct burning)
and chemicals (antioxidants, enzymes, dyes, etc.). Thus, industrial biorefinery is a
new and promising route for conversion of waste biomass to the value-added
products.By producingvariousarray of products, abiorefinery takes advantageof
theseveralcomponentsinbiomassalongwiththeirintermediatesandoptimizethe
useofresourcesandminimizewastes,thusmaximizingbenefitsandprofitability.
To achieve global sustainability goals, agriculture must improve supply chains
and valorize agricultural waste. Waste streams from the agro-industry are rich in
carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, glucosinolates, and cell wall components
suchascellulose,hemicellulose,lignin,andpectin,sotheyhaveahugepotentialfor
beingturnedintovalue-addedproductsandforboostingthecountry’seconomy.In
recent years, many studies and researches have been conducted to explore the
sustainable valorization of agricultural waste as biomaterials, biofuels, and other
biochemicals. The goal of the book is to put all of the new developments and
accomplishmentsinthefieldofbiorefineryinoneplacesothatthefullpotentialof
differenttypesofagriculturalbiomasscanbeused.Whenpossible,theprosandcons
of different technologies are also talked about, taking into account local energy
needs,governmentpolicies,environmentaleffects,andeducationinbiorefinery.

book also features case studies that demonstrate the importance of integrating
processesandtechnologieswhenimaginingbiorefineries.
The book consists of about 15 chapters invited from various authors from the
globe.Itincludesthechapterswrittenbyrenownedexpertsfromindustries,research,
and academia. The chapters are mainly focused on the current research,
technologies,andcurrentliteratureofvaluableinterest.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I is dedicated to the valorization of
agriculturalwastefornumeroushigh-valuebiochemicals.PartIImainlyfocuseson
biomaterialproductionandtheirpotentialapplications.Inthethirdpart,weexamine
the environmental impact assessment and the life cycle analysis (LCA) of various
biomass processing options in order to provide a techno-economic evaluation of
agriculturalbiomassusingabiorefineryapproach.Thataddsdepthtothetopicsand
