.Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuels in the form of crude oil, gasoline, diesel, coal, and natural gas have dominated the global energy sector. The extensive use of fossil fuels is continually leading to the cumulative emission of greenhouse gases, which result in many adverse environmental conditions such as air pollution, acid rain, global warming, and ozone layer depletion. The role of energy conversion and utilization has become significantly important because of the fluctuations in availability of energy resources and the volatility in the fuel prices. Moreover, the crude oil industries based on fossil fuel resources have been facing many technical impediments such as high carbon footprint, shortage of resources, unaccountable greenhouse gas emissions, and subsequent environmental damage. The fuel refineries could be more competitive by increasing the energy efficiency and eliminating wastes that degrade the environment and natural ecosystems.
The consumption of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases are closely associated with each other. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in the global interest from fossil-based energy sources to green fuels. Green fuels, especially biofuels, are produced from wide-ranging organic waste resources that have numerous environmental and socio-economic benefits. Biofuels have tremendous scope in supplementing the aggregating fuel demands, mitigating CO2 emissions, ensuring energy security and economic sustainability, as well as preventing ecological degradation.
Furthermore, when utilized in connection with fossil fuels through several co-processing technologies, biofuels could potentially bring many advantages to existing energy infrastructures. This book provides current information on the production and utilization of fossil fuels and biofuels; co-processing technologies for fossil energy and bioenergy; synthetic crude oil processing; wasteto-energy and chemical generation; conversion of…
