Encyclopedia of Fuel Processing Technology, Six Volume Set, thoroughly explores the diverse nature of energy and fuel sources. It is designed to be user-friendly and a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and managers, providing comprehensive insights into the transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy practices.

Fuel processing technology involves a wide range of methods and processes to efficiently convert various fuel sources into usable energy while minimizing environmental impacts. This technology addresses the changing energy landscape, transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable alternatives. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, have historically been the primary sources of energy globally. However, extraction, processing, and combustion of these fuels lead to environmental impacts like air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In response, there is now a focus on developing fuel processing technologies that reduce environmental impact and support a cleaner energy future. These include carbon capture and storage systems (CCS); desulfurization technologies and desalting, the production and processing of sustainable fuels, such as biofuels, as well as renewable fuels and renewable energy sources. The Encyclopedia is based on the long-term vision that a significant portion of energy and raw material needs should be met through the commercial use of advancements in bio-processing technologies. This approach aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and finally replace fuels sourced from depleting fossil fuel reserves.

Prof. Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a professor in Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University joint with University of Sydney, Australia 1988. He started his independent career as Assistant Professor in September 1998 at Shiraz University. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour, was a Research Associate at University of California, Davis from 2012 till 2017. During his stay in University of California, he developed different reaction networks and catalytic processes such as thermal and plasma reactors for upgrading of lignin bio-oil to biofuel with collaboration of UCDAVIS. He has been a Chair of Department of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University from 2005 till 2009 and from 2015 till 2020. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour leads a research group in fuel processing technology focused on the catalytic conversion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and renewable fuels such as bio-oils derived from lignin to valuable energy sources. He provides young distinguished scholars with perfect educational opportunities in both experimental methods and theoretical tools in developing countries to investigate in-depth research in the various field of chemical engineering including carbon capture, chemical looping, membrane separation, storage and utilization technologies, novel technologies for natural gas conversion and improving the energy efficiency in the production and use of natural gas industries.
