Book description

Fuel Production with Heterogeneous Catalysis presents the groundbreaking discoveries, recent developments, and future perspectives of one of the most important areas of renewable energy research—the heterogeneous catalytic production of fuels. Comprised of chapters authored by leading experts in the field, this authoritative text:

  • Focuses primarily on the state-of-the-art catalysts and catalytic processes anticipated to play a pivotal role in the production of fuels
  • Describes production of fuels from renewable sources using environmentally friendly technologies
  • Exposes the advantages and disadvantages of each production process
  • Suggests solutions to minimize the impact of fuel transportation
  • Conveys the importance of catalysis for the sustainable production of fuels

Fuel Production with Heterogeneous Catalysis delivers a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art of the heterogeneous catalytic production of fuels, providing reaction mechanism schemes, engineering solutions, valuable industry insights, and more.
