Summary

Biofuels: Production and Future Perspectives contains four sections pertaining to various aspects of biofuels. In each section all the chapters of one aspect are arranged and interlinked to make the current research clearer and more useful for readers. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the current areas of focus in biofuels: Commencing in the first section, material related to an historical overview of public opinions and socio-environmental aspects is presented. Sustainability criteria for the production of biofuels, their market, policies and economic aspects are highlighted in separate chapters. Section II contains material relevant to production of biofuels of various feedstocks and processing technologies for biomass. Current status production of biofuels from energy crops is also described. Section III provides material related to biofuels produced from algae. All available information related to various aspects of algae and microalgae is compiled in this section. Section IV pertains to future perspectives of biofuels. Overall, Biofuels: Production and Future Perspectives provides an accurate sense of the scope of biofuels today. The chapters are written by experts in their respective fields of research. They are intended to equip the reader with basic knowledge and applied research related to technological developments in the field. Book jacket.
