Recent Advances in Energy Transitions Towards Sustainable Development
Description
This book presents the select proceedings of the 76th Indian Chemical Engineering Congress (CHEMCON-2023) which was focused on e nergy transitions towards sustainable development. It includes the latest developments in the energy science and engineering towards sustainable development. It also discusses the role of machine learning & IoT in chemical engineering. Various topics covered include chemical engineering, process engineering, biofuel and biosafety, advanced techniques for waste-to-wealth generation, bioinformatics for energy transition, green and renewable membranes and carbon capture sequestration and utilization, electrochemical energy, biodiesel and bioplastics toward low-carbon footprint and sustainable food packaging. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in sustainable energy and allied fields.
