Anaerobic Digestion for Resource Recovery: Challenges and Opportunities in the Integrated Biorefinery serves as a comprehensive guide to anaerobic digestion (AD) by covering fundamental principles, advanced techniques, and real-world applications of AD as applied to resource recovery, integrated biorefinery and the circular economy.

Anaerobic Digestion for Resource Recovery: Challenges and Opportunities in the Integrated Biorefinery offers seventeen detailed chapters, with each one providing clear explanations, illustrative examples, and practical insights to explore the integration of AD in biorefinery operations, covering topics such as mass and energy balances, economical evaluations, environmental considerations, and upscaling strategies. Additionally, the book provides guidance on identifying and mitigating inhibitory factors that can limit the real-world applications of AD research.

This book equips readers with the essential tools and knowledge to succeed in AD and biorefinery operations, and is very useful guide for students, researchers and industry professionals working with, or looking to get into research with anaerobic digestion, resource recovery, integrated biorefinery and bioenergy technologies. This book will also provide useful information for decision makers, policy makers and consultants working to make their business more sustainable and focus on circular economy practices.
