Biofuels: Scientific Explorations and Technologies for a Sustainable Environment

Biofuels are promising eco-friendly renewable energy alternatives, simultaneously curbing the dependence on depleting fossil fuel reserves, reducing the global carbon footprint. However, there have been technological constraints deterring the global-wide scale adoption of biofuel. Biofuels: Scientific Explorations and Technologies for a Sustainable Environment presents a comprehensive analysis of different types of biofuels. Five sections provide detailed information on the history and discovery of biofuels; first generation biofuels; second generation biofuels; third generation biofuels and beyond; as well as prospects of biofuels as cleaner and greener alternatives.

FEATURES

? Introduces the history of the origin of biofuels

? Narrates the evolution of biofuel raw material beyond generations from food crops to plastic waste

? Explains the application of primary biofuel types; biodiesel, bioethanol, and biohydrogen

? Discusses the promises and prospects of biofuel for a cleaner, sustainable future

Biofuels: Scientific Explorations and Technologies for a Sustainable Environment analyses the promising future of biofuel technology and its judicious use to minimize dependency on fossil fuels. It is designed for academia, scientists, and researchers; industrialists; environmentalists; biofuel technicians; R & D industries; and those from the petroleum industry.
