Produktbeschreibung

Biofuels and bioenergy are critical topics underlying today's emphasis on sustainable energy sources. This volume provides a succinct introduction to this essential subject. After an overview, the book begins by discussing crop oils, biodiesel, and algae fuels. It examines ethanol from corn and from lignocelluloses. Next, the book explores fast pyrolysis and gasification of biomass. It describes the conversion of waste to biofuels, bioproducts, and bioenergy and concludes with a discussion of mixed feedstock.
