Preface
In the challenging transition toward sustainable development, one of the key pillars is the valorization of non-food biomass and biowaste into energy and valuable molecules and materials with emphasis on practices that prevent harmful emissions. The range of biomass and biowaste feedstocks available is much larger than ever before. This opens new opportunities for innovation and development of new technologies, processes, approaches and market in the context of sustainable development and the circular economy. In this context, understanding the behavior and properties of these streams is essential. It requires a combination of techniques to get a good insight of the complex materials that biomass and biowaste usually are. The handbook provides insights on standard characterization techniques, together with the advanced and emerging ones. With this contribution to the state of the art, we planned this work to fill an important gap in the literature. We expect this reference work to be the mortar that holds the building blocks on understan
