Gasoline, Diesel, and Ethanol Biofuels from Grasses and Plants

Omtale

The first-generation biofuels - ethanol from sugar or corn and biodiesel from vegetable oils - created to replace petroleum are already in the market, with limited success. However, alternatives to petroleum must be technically feasible, economically competitive, environmentally acceptable, and easily available. This book introduces readers to second-generation biofuels from non-food biomass.
