Sustainable energy production and a supply of good quality water are two major challenges facing modern societies today and for decades ahead. In this context, renewable biomass presents both a sustainable energy source and an alternative to expensive water treatment technologies. This book gives an overview of the various ways to valorize biomass for energy production as well as for pollution treatment of contaminated soils and wastewaters. It focuses on the fact that we could produce renewable energy from biomass without using corn, sugarcane or colza oil, but lignocelluloses, bacteria and algae instead. Furthermore, water or soil pollution can be treated using algae and fungi. This book guides the reader to identifying the local bioresources which could be valorized and chosen for the remediation of a pollution-related problem or a response to an energetic need.
