The Microbiology of the Drop-in Biofuel Production is a comprehensive resource that provides basic and applied knowledge, technologies, and regulations of current drop-in biofuel production. This book focuses on liquid drop-in biofuel produced trough biochemical process and all the important aspect like renewable substrates, biochemical routes, genetic modifications, technology innovations, regulation, commercialization as well as the future perspectives to be implemented. Starting with an introductory chapter about the conventional methods to produce drop-in biofuels, the book will guide the reader into the specific biochemical processes for its production, covering aspect like renewable feedstocks, microorganism, classification, and the circular economy around all the production process.

This book provides a detailed overview about the microbiology, regulation and commercialization aspects of drop-in biofuel production and is essential for researchers, students, and professors working in the bioenergy area.

Drop-in biofuel production policies, regulations, and commercialization aspects Renewable feedstocks used for drop-in biofuel production Drop-in biofuels production and their applications

Prof. Satinder Kaur Brar is the James and Joanne Love Chair in Environmental Engineering and Director of One WATER Institute at York University. Her research is on the intersecting areas of environmental engineering and its impact on the overall well-being of the global community. She primarily works in the two converging fields of value-addition of wastes and removal of emerging contaminants. Many national and international awards and honors have been bestowed on her that prove her research mettle. Notable ones being, in 2021, Best paper award, and in 2019, Eddy Principles/Processes Wastewater Medal winner, honored by the Water Environment Federation; in 2017, her research on "Novel and Advanced Hybrid Oxidation and Enzymatic Technologies for Emerging Trace Environmental Contaminants" were awarded the Grand Prize in University Research for Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Science by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES). She was recently inducted into the European Academy of Sciences in 2021 and as well is a member of the College of New Scholars, Scientist and Artists of the Royal Society of Canada, since 2014. She leads the Bioprocessing and NanoEnzyme Formulation Facility (BANEFF) at York University and this unit has successfully led to the training of 72 HQP (including 45 undergraduates and summer interns). Currently, she is supervising 4 PDFs, 2 research associates, one research assistant, 11 Ph.D.s and 2 M.Scs. She has published more than 400 articles, edited 12 books and at least 55 invited talks to her credit.

Dr. Carlos Saul Osorio-Gonzalez is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Civil Engineering Department at York University, Ontario, Canada. His research interest mainly lies in residues valorization, bioenergy production, fermentation technology, sustainability, and biorefinery. Some of his specific research area includes biofuels, enzyme and secondary metabolite production, wastewater treatment, bioremediation and apply statistics. He has been held with several awards and scholarships such as Merit Scholarship Program for Foreign Students-Short-term (PBEEE-3M), Bourses de 2è et 3è cycle pour stage en Centre collégial de transfert de technologies (CCTT), Mitacs Research Award and Mitacs Elevate. He has more than dozen research publications and book chapters in international peer-reviewed journals and books.
