• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Assessing information from around the world, this work presents an accurate picture of the biofuels movement, its successes, its historical failures, and its achievable goals within the next few decades. It evaluates industrial processes for large-scale commercial production of ethanol from monocultures and agricultural waste products and provides an up-to-date account of state-of-the-art advances, including biobutanol and biohydrogen. By discussing the emergence of bioethanol, the author places biofuels in their historical context. He also explains how to minimize the potential social and environmental damages resulting from the production of feedstocks on large areas of cultivatable land.
