Foreword
‘‘Syngas from Waste: Emerging Technologies’’—An Example of What is Required for Today’s New Green and Sustainable Chemical and Process Engineering Oil, chemical and related industries are today evolving considerably at the beginning of this new century, because of unprecedented globalization market demands and constraints stemming from public and media concerns over environmental and safety issues, and sustainable considerations, in combination with tools like stakeholders analysis, indicators, and Life Cycle Assessment covering a cradle-to-grave approach of the supply chain. A great number of requirements are clearly focused on societal exigencies such as carbon dioxide sequestration, chemical looping combustion, methane CPO and reforming, biodiesel synthesis and hydrogen production, as mentioned in the USA and European roadmaps related to the mise en oeuvre of the required green chemistry and the green chemical and process engineering. And it is obvious that the existing processes and new processes, both involving the need of emerging technologies and computer aided process engineering, must be progressively adapted to the principles of the green chemistry [1]. The present book is a typically good illustration of the modern chemical engineering in the framework of globalization, sustainability, and acceleration of innovation that i
