Production of Top 12 Biochemicals Selected by USDOE from Renewable Resources: Status and Innovation is a comprehensive book that delves into the technological aspects of producing biochemicals from renewable feedstock. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including biomass conversion processes such as pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis for cellulosic sugars production, fermentation into chemicals, and downstream recovery of the products. The book highlights recent advancements in suitable microorganism development, bioprocess engineering for biomass conversion, and various fermentation strategies and downstream recovery techniques for these top 12 biochemicals.

Each bio-chemical selected by the US Department of Energy, such as ethanol, xylitol/sorbitol, furans (5-HMF, 2,5-FDCA,), glycerol, and its derivatives, hydrocarbons, isoprene, isobutadienes, and others), lactic acid, succinic acid, 3-hydroxy propionic acid, levulinic acid, and biohydrogen/biogas, is covered in a single book chapter. In addition to the technical details of these 12 biochemicals, the book also discusses general technological challenges related to lignocellulose refining, provides perspectives and solutions, and conducts a comprehensive review of life cycle analysis, techno-economic viability, and sustainability index of biofuels/biochemicals.

The book is an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, and policymakers interested in exploring the potential of renewable resources for biochemicals production. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the current status and innovative technologies in this field, providing valuable insights for future research and development endeavors.
