Description
Description
The book begins with an introduction to waste valorization and explores the various processes and managements of converting waste materials produced by industrial activities into valuable products or energy. Notably, it explores the transformation of agrowaste into biochar, which not only provides a sustainable method of waste management but also acts as a negative carbon technology, significantly contributing to climate change mitigation. In addition to exploring different methods for energy conversion, the book also provides a global perspective through case studies from different countries and regions of the world.
