Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage: Using Natural Resources for Sustainable Development presents the technologies associated with bioenergy and CCS and its applicability as an emissions reduction tool. The book explores existing climate policies and current carbon capture and storage technologies. Sections offer an overview of several routes to use biomass and produce bioenergy through processes with low or even negative CO2 emissions. Associated technology and the results of recent research studies to improve the sustainability of the processes are described, pointing out future trends and needs. This book can be used by bioenergy engineering researchers in industry and academia and by professionals and researchers in carbon capture and storage.

Dr. José Carlos Magalhães Pires is an Assistant Researcher at the University of Porto, Portugal. He obtained his PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Porto and brings more than 18 years of teaching and research experience in environmental sciences and process systems engineering. His research is focused on biomass production, sustainable macro- and microalgal cultivation practices, and applications of microalgae in water treatment and bioenergy. He has led the development of 7 books, including Elsevier’s Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage and Advances in Sustainable Applications of Microalgae (in development).
Ana Luisa da Cunha Gonçalves graduated in Bioengineering (Biological Engineering Branch) by Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto in 2012. In 2013, she started her PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering at FEUP. The PhD, entitled Microalgal cultivation for biomass production, CO2 capture and nutrients uptake, aimed the optimization of culturing conditions of microalgae and cyanobacteria in laboratory and pilot scale to improve both CO2 capture and nutrients uptake from the culture medium. Before finishing the PhD, she worked for 9 months as Wet Biomass Production Manager in a microalgal production company. Currently, Dr. Gonçalves is a postdoctoral researcher in the TexBoost project at CITEVE and also an external researcher at LEPABE-FEUP. AL Gonçalves published 20 papers in international peer reviewed journals, 2 book chapters and her research work was discussed in 10 international meetings.
