The book is explores the innovative relationship between nanotechnology and bioenergy, offering potential breakthroughs that could change how we produce, store, and use energy sustainably. Since biofuel production is expected to advance and new research fields provide green alternative energy sources, biofuels as renewable energy sources have a great potential to replace fossil fuels in the energy scenario of the future. Worldwide, on-going attempts are being undertaken to produce biofuels at a cost that is affordable in order to balance the techno-economy. Use of nanomaterials to increase biofuel production efficiency is a highly growing field in the massive endeavor to improve biofuels production technologies, with full potential to develop low cost, quick solutions for biofuels production.
This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of how nano-bioenergy solutions can address current energy challenges while paving the way for a more sustainable future. It covers foundational concepts, cutting-edge research, practical applications, and the broader implications of this emerging field.
Dr. Dan Bahadur Pal is currently working as an Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur-208002, Uttar Pradesh India. He has received his M. Tech in 2011 and Ph.D. in 2017, in the field of Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.
