Higher Alcohols Production Platforms: From Strain Development to Process Design comprehensively covers the production of higher alcohols, from the fundamentals to the latest research. Bringing together experts from industry and academia, the book sheds light on the practical aspects of higher alcohol production and offers a roadmap for researchers to follow.In addition to the fundamentals of higher alcohol production, readers are presented with detailed information on up and downstream processes, including microbial processes, and the various production pathways available. A discussion of metabolic pathways has a dedicated chapter, as do C2, C3-C8, and C4 sugar fermentation platforms. A life cycle assessment is also presented, addressing the energy, environmental, social, and economic factors in the sustainability of higher alcohol production. Higher Alcohols Production Platforms provides readers with a unique and comprehensive reference on the production of higher alcohols that will be of interest to students, researchers, and industry professionals involved in bioenergy and renewable energy, and may be of interest to interdisciplinary teams working across biotechnology, chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science, and sustainability sciences. Provides comprehensive coverage of the energy, environmental, and economic aspects of higher alcohols biofuels Presents a rational basis for assessing alcoholic products that can be used as a roadmap for their further developments Analyses and synthesizes the latest research and developments on the production of higher alcohols as biofuels from academia and industry
