The development of biofuels has escalated greatly in recent years, and with increased interest there is now a great demand for scientific information on the development of biomass crops and conversion of bio-based materials into fuels and chemicals. Plant Biomass Conversion takes a broad view of the biofuels industry with chapters written by leading researches and industry professional to address key topics in this emerging field.
Plant Biomass Conversion covers topics ranging from the development of dedicated biomass crops and the evolution of conversion processes, to chapters on sustainability issues and the economic considerations, to profitably developing fuels and industrial chemicals from biomass. Broad ranging in scope and written in a succinct, scientific style, Plant Biomass Conversion is an essential addition for all researchers and industrial personnel interested in the production and development of biofuels.
As concerns regarding increasing energy prices, global warming and renewable resources continue to grow, so has scientific discovery into agricultural biomass conversion. Plant Biomass Conversion addresses both the development of plant biomass and conversion technology, in addition to issues surrounding biomass conversion, such as the affect on water resources and soil sustainability. This book also offers a brief overview of the current status of the industry and examples of production plants being used in current biomass conversion efforts.
