This handbook and ready reference is the first to combine the fields of advanced experimentation and catalytic process development for biobased materials in industry. It describes the entire workflow from idea, approach, research, and process development, right up to commercialization. A large part of the book is devoted to the use of advanced technologies and methodologies like high throughput experimentation, as well as reactor and process design models, with a wide selection of real-life examples included at each stage. The contributions are from authors at leading companies and institutes, providing firsthand\u003cbr\u003e information and knowledge that is hard to find elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e This work is aimed at decision makers, engineers and chemists in industry, chemists and engineers working with\/on renewables, chemists in the field of catalysis, and chemical engineers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Overall, especially for an edited book, this is a well organized book showing the overall story, rather than giving only pieces of a puzzle . . .
