The chapter "Synthesis of Transportation Fuels from Biomass: Chemistry, Catalysts, and Engineering" by George W. Huber, Sara Iborra, and Avelino Corma discusses the sustainable production of transportation fuels from biomass. The authors highlight the importance of biomass as a renewable and environmentally friendly source of energy, especially with the decline in fossil fuel resources and increasing environmental concerns. The chapter covers various aspects of biomass conversion, including the chemistry and growth rates of different biomass sources, gasification processes, syn-gas utilization, bio-oil production, and the conversion of biomass into monomers and sugars. It also addresses the challenges and economic considerations in the biomass-to-fuel conversion process, emphasizing the need for efficient and cost-effective technologies. The authors provide an integrated overview of the biomass-to-fuel conversion system, including growth, conversion, and utilization, and discuss the potential of different biomass sources, such as lignocellulose, starch-based plants, triglyceride-producing plants, algae, and terpenes. The chapter concludes with a discussion on ethical considerations and the overall conclusions, emphasizing the importance of continued research and development in this field.The chapter "Synthesis of Transportation Fuels from Biomass: Chemistry, Catalysts, and Engineering" by George W.
