Features: This book is the first systematic technical manual on biomass and bioenergy in China and abroad, organized and written by the Japan Society of Energy Science and translated into Chinese by relevant domestic experts. The book is divided into 5 parts and 44 chapters, sequentially presenting to readers: the main types, composition, and characteristics of biomass; biomass utilization technologies, mainly including thermal chemical conversion and biological conversion technologies; biomass utilization systems (such as biomass plantations) and their ecological and economic evaluations. The book compiles a wealth of basic data and technical information, illustrated with visuals. Each topic is generally divided into three parts: basic introduction, detailed explanation, and references, making it easy to follow and highly readable. At the end of the book, an index is provided, including conversion relationships between Japanese and international units, statistical data on global energy, and other references for readers to consult. "He who has a hammer sees nails." It is hoped that the publication of this book will benefit a broad range of students and researchers in the fields of bioengineering, biochemical engineering, agricultural engineering, and other related disciplines in China, as well as technicians and decision-makers in biotechnology enterprises who can obtain the technical data and economic indicators they urgently need from the book.
