Promotes the successful coupling of two major technologies - biomass conversion and electrochemistry - in making feedstocks for the chemical and fuel industries. This book defines and describes various reactions occurring during the electrochemical breakdown of biomass into fuels, fuel components, and valuable chemicals. It covers the basics of electrochemistry, the available forms of renewable resources, and the electrochemical reactions involving carbon dioxide, lignins, hydrocarbons, polysaccharides and more. This text records the relevant work being done in this ecologically and economically important field in the late-1990s and suggests necessary areas of future research and development.
