Bioenergy and the Circular Energy Economy for Africa's Agricultural and Urban Economies

Dr. John O. Owolabi

Biogas engines, biomass co-firing, and sustainable aviation fuel keep surfacing in energy debates, usually as a footnote. From Waste to Watts gives bioenergy the sustained treatment its global scale deserves. Across fourteen chapters, it develops a single argument about the role of biological feedstocks and waste streams in a circular energy economy, examining the main conversion pathways from feedstock to power, heat, and fuel, alongside their economics, sustainability limits, and policy frameworks. It also clarifies when bioenergy competes with, and when it complements, hydrogen and synthetic e-fuels. Rigorous, balanced, and practical, it is written for engineers, municipal planners, agribusiness and waste-management leaders, investors, and students looking for credible ways to turn what we discard into the energy we need.

In development: still being written, with no confirmed release date.
