This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact

This work covers all aspects related to the obtainment, production, design, and processing of biopolymers obtained from natural resources. Moreover, it studies characteristics related to the improvement of their performance to increase their potential application at an industrial level, in line with the concept of a global circular economy. Thus, this work firstly classifies biopolymers obtained from natural resources (e.g., biobased building blocks and biopolymers extracted directly from plants and biomass), and then summarizes several cutting-edge research works focused on enhancing the performance of biopolymers from natural resources to extend their application in the industrial sector, and contribute to the transition to more sustainable plastics.

This book draws together a small selection of full-length papers based on presentations given at the 27th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition held in Lisbon, Portugal in 2019. The topics covered, which reflect the breadth of the program of the EUBCE conference itself, include biomass sources, various aspects of technologies used for the conversion of biomass to bioproducts and bioenergy, as well as different approaches to assessing environmental impacts, which include case studies based on different technologies in use in a range of countries.

Technology: general issues --- bioeconomy --- bio-based industry --- biomass --- bioenergy --- industrial crop --- perennial crop --- low-input agriculture --- marginal land --- MALLIS --- sustainable agriculture --- HTC --- bio-coal --- manure --- slagging --- fouling --- corrosion --- process chemistry --- combustion --- waste to energy --- struvite --- HTL --- biorefinery --- renewable fuel --- HyFlexFuel --- rice harvest pellets --- palletization --- ash recovery --- normative --- anaerobic digestion --- methane production --- co-digestion --- combined heat and power --- farm-scale --- technical-economic analysis --- life cycle assessment --- greenhouse gas emission --- Ireland --- 5-hydroxymethylfurfural --- glucose --- heteropolyacid catalysts --- agroforestry --- waste valorization --- sustainable development goals --- renewable energy --- bioenergy transitions --- circular bioeconomy --- clean cooking --- life-cycle assessment --- energy policy --- barley straw --- torrefaction --- higher heating value --- severity factor --- sustainable development --- enhancement factor --- energy yield --- climate modelling --- climate change --- climate policy --- emission accounting --- global warming potential --- global temperature change potential --- greenhouse gas emissions --- impulse response function --- Bern Carbon Cycle model --- climate impacts of agriculture system --- conventional wheat --- olive trees --- silvopastoral --- acidification --- eutrophication --- energy crops --- miscanthus --- cardoon --- Paulownia tomentosa --- microalgae --- contaminated soils --- geographic information systems (GIS) --- ArcGIS --- adsorption --- ceramic filter --- gasification --- hot-gas cleaning --- lignocellulosic biomass --- cellulose pulp --- hydrolysis --- oxygen availability --- C:N ratio --- fermentation --- itaconic acid --- Aspergillus terreus
