| Summary |
""Explores Worldwide Trends Involving the Production and Use of Biofuels"" With the depletion of oil resources as well as the negative environmental impact of fossil fuels, there is much interest in alternative energy sources. Focusing on some of the most important alternate energy sources for the foreseeable future, the Handbook of Plant-Based Biofuels provides state-of-the-art information on the status of the production of biofuels, in particular, bioethanol and biodiesel. ""Introduction to Biofuels"" After profiling plant-based biofuels, the book gives an overview of the production of biofu |
