Waste to Renewable Biohydrogen, Volume Two: Numerical Modelling and Sustainability Assessment provides an integrated approach on the experimental, modeling and sustainability aspects of waste-to-biohydrogen systems. The book focuses on processes for waste treatment to hydrogen production, delving into modeling and simulation methodologies for the design and optimization of different processes and systems. In addition, it looks at the application of computational fluid dynamics and artificial neural networks. Finally, it addresses the economic, environmental and sustainability implications of waste-to-biohydrogen systems, covering several techniques for cost-benefit analysis, techno-economic analysis, lifecycle assessment, sustainability ranking and supply chain design.
This well-rounded reference supports decision-making for energy researchers and industry practitioners alike, but it is also ideal for graduate students, early career researchers and waste management professionals.
