Preface
The development of agriculture, science, and technology plays a major role in raising liv-
ing standards; however, rapid urbanization, increasing population, and industrialization
also play a significant role in producing a large quantity of wastes globally. Over two bil-
lion tons of waste is produced every year, and most of them are dumped untreated, which
causes serious environmental and health issues. Waste management is an economic
approach that plays a crucial role in preserving the environment and improving living
standards. Waste management can be integrated alongside energy-generating technolo-
gies as a solution to handling waste as well as producing chemicals and energy. Various
methods such as gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, esterification,
and fuel cells can be used to convert waste into chemicals and bioenergy. Various types
of energy materials such as syngas, bio-oil, biochar, bioelectricity, biogas, bioethanol,
biohydrogen, and biodiesel can be easily generated using wastes. The recent development
utilized biowastes for the production of high-performance electrode materials for fuel
cells, batteries, and supercapacitors.
The main purpose of our book is to provide current state-of-the-art development
in the field of waste management, particularly for generating chemicals and energy.
Various processes and technologies for converting wastes into energy are covered,
which will be attractive to academia as well as industries. Several new approaches for
the use of wastes for green energy production and storage are provided. The book cov-
ers an introduction, techniques, the importance of waste management for a sustainable
future, and the use of waste in producing many chemicals and energy devices. This book
provides fundamentals as well as advanced concepts to the readers for developing new
ideas and approaches to utilizing wastes for energy applications.
