A Thoughtful Discussion of a Timely Topic
Evaluating a wealth of quantitative data, Biofuels: Biotechnology,
Chemistry, and Sustainable Development discusses different types of
biofuels, the science behind their production, the economics of their
introduction to the marketplace, their environmental impacts, and their
implications for world agriculture. It broadens the discussion on
biofuels beyond bioethanol and biodiesel, taking into account the data,
ideas, and bioproducts that have appeared over the last fifty years.
An Insider鈥檚 Look at the Biotech Industry
Written by a seasoned expert in the biotech industry, the book
analyzes in detail the present status and future prospects of biofuels,
from ethanol and biodiesel to biotechnological routes to biohydrogen.
It emphasizes the ways biotechnology can improve process economics as
well as facilitate sustainable agroindustries and crucial elements of a
biobased economy. The author also explores the additional innovations
required in microbial and plant biotechnology, metabolic engineering,
bioreactor design, and the genetic manipulation of novel biomass
species of plants, such as softwoods and algae.
The Role of Biofuels in the Future
With over 1,000 references and nearly 200 graphs and tables of data,
this well-researched, comprehensive work examines the past and present
of various biofuels while considering the future of a biocommodity
economy.
