Renewable Carbon: Science, Technology and Sustainability identifies production pathways and technologies for the production of chemicals and presents relevant information to bridge the gap between reaction engineering and process design. It uses a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on important aspects of the basic science, the technological advantages (and hurdles) as well as key sustainability aspects. It incorporates organic, inorganic, and biochemical synthesis and analyses the myriad technologies available, including nanotechnology, biotechnology, and thermochemistry. The book is divided in three parts comprising aspects of science, technology, and sustainability. Starting from synthesis of carbon derivatives through multiple pathways (Science), moving on into technologies available for its generation (Technology), and concluding with the assessment of sustainability and new supply chains (Sustainability), the chapters include valuable information to identify and assess different pathways at different levels of design. This book serves as a valuable reference for academics, research scientists, and industry practitioners in green chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and environmental engineering aiming to deploy a "net zero" industry in the broader field of sustainability.
