Sustainable production of hydrocarbon biofuels from biomass, fuels that are fully compatible with existing internal combustion engines, will allow the global transport economy to transition to a sustainable energy source without the need for capital-intensive new infrastructures. Hydrocarbon Biorefinery: Sustainable Processing of Biomass for Hydrocarbon Biofuels presents a comprehensive and easy to understand consolidation of existing knowledge for the production of hydrocarbon biofuels from biomass. Three major areas for the conversion of biomass to hydrocarbon biofuels are addressed: i) Chemical and thermochemical conversion processes, ii) Biological and biochemical conversion processes, and iii) Conversion processes of biomass-derived compounds. Additionally, the book includes process design, life cycle analysis of various processes, reaction engineering, catalysts, process conditions and process concepts, and is supported with detailed case studies. The economic viability of each process is specifically addressed to provide a clear guide for the economic development of future hydrocarbon biofuels.
Hydrocarbon Biorefinery: Sustainable Processing of Biomass for Hydrocarbon Biofuels offers an all-in-one resource for researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals working in the area of bioenergy and will be of interest to energy engineers, chemical engineers, bioengineers, chemists, agricultural researchers, and mechanical engineers. Furthermore, this book provides structured foundational content on biorefineries for undergraduate and graduate students.
- Presents fundamental concepts and processes of hydrocarbon biofuel production, covering chemical, biological, and biomass-derived conversion processes
- Synthesizes the state-of-the-art research and commercial initiatives of this emerging concept into stand-alone chapters, serving as a structured resource for researchers and practitioners
- Emphasizes the process design and economic feasibility of each process using life cycle assessments to support commercial development

About the Author
He is currently working on hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils, steam and oxidative steam reforming, conversion of bio-butanol to gasoline, butylenes and aromatics, hydroxyalkylation-alkylation reaction, and hydrocarbon biofuels from platform chemicals. Prof. Maity executed several externally funded research projects and guided five Ph.D. students so far. Prof. Maity published thirty-five research articles, five book chapters, one edited book, and several presentations at national and international conferences.
Dr. Kalyan Gayen is an academician in the field of Chemical Engineering. He is currently working in the Department of Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Agartala, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California. His current research interests are microalgae and cyanobacteria-based biofuels and bioproducts, conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into liquid biofuels and value-added chemicals, metabolic network analysis and systems biology and fermentation technology.
He executed five externally funded projects and guided three Ph.D. students. Dr. Gayen published more than thirty-six research articles, one edited book, thirteen book chapters, and several presentations at national and international conferences.
Dr. Tridib Kumar Bhowmick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, National Institute of Technology Agartala, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He worked as a postdoctoral research assistant from 2008 to 2013 at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland. His research was focused on traditional Indian medicine, nanomaterials, and targeted therapeutic delivery. Currently, he is involved in exploring the northeast region of India, representing a biodiversity hotspot with endemic flora and fauna, in identifying promising microalgal strains as alternative bio-fuel resources. His broad interest is to understand the characteristics of biomaterials at the nano-scale level and is looking forward to their novel applications. Dr. Bhowmick published more than twenty-five research articles, one edited book, four book chapters, and several national and international conference proceedings.
