Synopsis: |
As the price of crude oil continues to soar, the interest in non-petroleum fuel sources continues to grow within the industry as well as research and academic communities. This unique book provides an up-to-date and in-depth overview of emerging technologies in the energy sector for producing fuels and energy from renewable biomass resources. Focusing on forestry and biomass-derived fuels, it surveys various technologies and the types and quality of fuels that can be produced by each. It also examines the commercialization of these technologies, including their state of readiness, market potential, commercial cost information, specific challenges, and projected market growth for these sources of fuels. |
