Biofuel is a renewable energy source produced from natural
(biobased) materials, which can be used as a substitute for petroleum
fuels. The benefits of biofuels over traditional fuels include greater
energy security, reduced environmental impact, foreign exchange
savings, and socioeconomic issues related to the rural sector.
Furthermore, biofuel technology is relevant to both developing and
industrialized countries. For these reasons, the share of biofuels in
the automotive fuel market is expected to grow rapidly over the next
decade.
The most common biofuels, such as ethanol from corn, wheat or sugar
beet and biodiesel from oil seeds, are produced from classic food crops
that require high-quality agricultural land for growth. However,
bioethanol is a petrol additive/substitute that can be produced from
plentiful, domestic, cellulosic biomass resources such as herbaceous
and woody plants, agricultural and forestry residues, and a large
portion of municipal and industrial solid waste streams. Production of
bioethanol from biomass is one way to reduce both the consumption of
crude oil and environmental pollution. There is also a growing interest
in the use of vegetable oils for making biodiesel, which is less
polluting than conventional petroleum diesel fuel.
Biofuels: Securing the Planet鈥檚 Future Energy Needs discusses the
production of transportation fuels from biomass (such as wood, straw
and even household waste) by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The book is an
important text for undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in
energy engineering, as well as professional fuel engineers.
