As the decline of fossil fuels and their environmental impacts intensifies, renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly significant. Biomass is one of the most abundant and adaptable of these, able to meet both environmental and energy demands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book begins with an introduction to bio-energy and then moves into the Indian context, where agro-residues and industrial wastes present immense opportunities for power generation. It explores the spectrum of biomass fuels, diverse conversion technologies, and the integration of biomass energy and power systems. Special emphasis is placed on solar PV and biomass hybrid systems, reflecting the growing popularity of hybrid renewable energy models.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFurther chapters examine the barriers to large-scale biomass utilization, along with an economic analysis of biomass projects to support practical decision-making. Advanced topics include harnessing bioenergy from biomass and the emerging role of biochar in both biomass conversion for biogas production and in broader renewable energy applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eComprehensive yet accessible, this book serves as a valuable resource for students, academics, engineers, and policymakers dedicated to advancing sustainable energy solutions through biomass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Narendra Dutta Kaushika, PhD, formerly professor at the Centre for Energy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi and subsequently Director of reputed engineering institutions in Delhi and the National Capital Region, is a specialist in renewable energy and environment.
