Preface
Varietiesofpollutantsarereleasedintotheenvironmentdaybydayduetoincrease
inpopulationandurbanizationwhichleadstoenvironmentalpollution,viz.air,land
and water. Pollutants may be organic or inorganic. Environmental Protection and
Management is a burning issue for different industrial sectors. Many conventional
engineering-based physicochemical decontamination methods for remediation
of these pollutants are expensive. The increasing costs and limited efficiency of
traditional physicochemical treatments have spurred the development of green
technologies which ultimately leads to the sustainable development of the
environment.
The first international conference on ‘Sustainable Energy and Environmental
Challenges’ (SEEC-2017) was organized under the auspices of ‘International
Society for Energy and Environmental Sustainability’ (ISEES) by the ‘Center of
InnovativeandAppliedBioprocessing’(CIAB),Mohali,heldfrom26–28February
2017.ISEESwasfoundedatIITKanpurinJanuary2014withtheaimofspreading
knowledgeinthefieldsofenergy,environment,sustainabilityandcombustion.The
society’s goal is to contribute to the development of clean, affordable and secure
energy resource and a sustainable environment for the society and to spread
knowledge in the above-mentioned areas and awareness about the environmental
challenges,whichtheworldisfacingtoday.ISEESisinvolvedinvariousactivities
such as conducting workshops, seminars and conferences in the domains of its
interest. The society also recognizes the outstanding works done by the young
scientists and engineers for their contributions in these fields by conferring them
awards under various categories.
This conference provided a platform for discussions between eminent scientists
and engineers from various countries including India, the USA, South Korea,
Norway,MalaysiaandAustralia.Inthisconference,eminentspeakersfromallover
the world presented their views related to different aspects of energy, combustion,
emissions and alternative energy resource for sustainable development and cleaner
environment. The conference started with four mini-symposiums on very topical
themes, which included (i) New Fuels and Advanced Engine Combustion,
(ii) Sustainable Energy, (iii) Experimental and Numerical Combustion and

(iv) Environmental Remediation and Rail Road Transport. The conference had 14
technicalsessionsontopicsrelatedtoenergyandenvironmentalsustainabilityanda
panel discussion on ‘Challenges, Opportunities and Directions of Technical Edu-
cation&ResearchintheAreaofEnergy,EnvironmentandSustainability’towrap
up the three-day technical extravaganza. The conference included 2 plenary talks,
12 keynote talks, 42 invited talks from prominent scientists, 49 contributed talks
and 120 posters. A total of 234 participants and speakers attended this three-day
conference, which hosted Dr. V. K. Saraswat, Member, NITI Aayog, India, as a
chief guest for the award ceremony of ISEES. This conference laid out the road
map for technology development, opportunities and challenges in this technology
domain.ThetechnicalsessionsintheconferenceincludedAdvancesinICEngines
and Fuels; Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels; Combustion Processes; Renewable
Energy: Prospects and Technologies; Waste to Wealth—Chemicals and Fuels;
Energy Conversion Systems; Numerical Simulation of Combustion Processes;
Alternate Fuels for IC Engines; Sprays and Heterogeneous Combustion of
Coal/Biomass; Biomass Conversion to Fuels and Chemicals—Thermochemical
Processes; Utilization of Biofuels; and Environmental Protection and Health. All
these topics are very relevant for the country and the world in the present context.
The society is grateful to Prof. Ashok Pandey for organizing and hosting this
conference, which led to the germination of this series of monographs, which
included 16 books related to different aspects of energy, environment and sus-
tainability. This is the first time that such a voluminous and high-quality outcome
has been achieved by any society in India from one conference.
The editors would like to express their sincere gratitude to the authors for
submitting their work in a timely manner and revising it appropriately at short
notice. We would like to express our special thanks to reviewers for reviewing
various chapters of this monograph and provided their valuable suggestions to
improve the manuscripts. We acknowledge the support received from various
funding agencies and organizations for successfully conducting the first ISEES
conference SEEC-2017, where these monographs germinated. These include

thanks to Swati Mehershi); CIAB (special thanks to Dr. Sangwan).
Due to some limitations such as cost and efficiency, conventional remediation
methods of polluted sites, there is a need for the development of alternative tech-
nologies for in situ applications, particularly based on biological remediation
capabilities of plants and microorganisms. Green technologies for clean-up of
pollutants by biological means are used for Environmental Protection and Man-
agement. Hence, bioremediation technology is referred as an efficient, economic,
versatile and environmentally sound technique. The monograph is primarily
focused on every aspect of bioremediation technology practiced globally. It pro-
vides concise and updated literature on bioremediation technologies as a tool for
Environmental Protection and Management, which can be used by engineers,
scientists and academicians working in the field of bioremediation. Every chapter
