Reviews / Votes
"Finally a text on biorefinery design - presented in a format that is practical for industry and academia alike. The co-editors are consultants as well as academics and, between them, have long experience in the key industry sectors related to biorefining: forestry, agriculture, and energy/oil, and gas. They have assembled an impressive set of chapter authors from leading designers from around the globe. The book won't sit on the shelf long - as an industry practitioner, the information from the 27 chapters will provide invaluable knowledge in various ways on a regular basis."-Gopal Goyal, Chief Scientist, International Paper, Loveland, Ohio, USA
"The book provides a good overview of recent advances in its subject by world-leading experts. One of the strengths of this book is the strong focus on product development, economics, and supply chains, which are crucial in making biorefining an industrial reality."
