Chapter synopsis:

This chapter reviews developments in the types, processing and use of biomass to develop a range of co-products. It begins by assessing availability of biomass feedstock from agricultural sources. It then reviews the range of biological and thermochemical biomass conversion processes together with the growing number of co-products from these sources. The chapter then focuses on microalgae as an emerging biomass feedstock. It reviews the key steps and technologies in growing and processing microalgae as well as characterization techniques to optimize process control.
