This book enables readers to understand the theoretical aspects, key steps and scientific techniques with a detailed mechanism to produce biofuels from algae.

This book enables readers to understand the theoretical aspects, key steps and scientific techniques with a detailed mechanism to produce biofuels from algae.

Outlines the ecological requirements, methods of propagation, crop management, rotation and production, harvesting, handling and storage, and processing and utilization of biomass. This book also covers biomass accumulation, harvesting, transportation and storage, as well as conversion technologies for biofuels.

Examines the consequences that large-scale production of transport fuel substitutes can have on rural areas, principally in developing countries but also in some poor rural areas of developed countries. This work looks at the production of biofuels from another perspective: the role of biofuels in reducing rural poverty.

This book examines sugarcane use for bioenergy in Colombia and Mozambique. Case studies address the balance between food security and energy security; rural and land development policies; and feasibility and production models for expanding bioenergy.

Interest in anaerobic digestion has increased rapidly in recent years. This book is one of the first to provide a broad introduction to anaerobic digestion and its potential as a viable means to turn agricultural crops or crop residues, animal and other organic waste, into biomethane.

This best-selling handbook provides the reader with the skills to understand the biomass resource base, the tools to assess the resource, and explores the pros and cons of exploitation. Now updated and fully revised with new chapters on sustainability methodologies.

Miscanthus is a promising non-food crop yielding high quality lignocellulosic material which can be used in a number of ways, including energy and fibre production. This book presents guidance to growth conditions and breeding of Miscanthus, potential productivity and economics, environmental aspects, and harvesting, storage and utilisation.
