"This book fulfills a long needed review of bio-mass conversion to
supply the needs of the energy and fuels sector of our society. The
current state of the conversion of bio-mass to energy and fuels is
covered in a comprehensive way. Requirements for future process
developments to ensure economic viability are clearly stated."
—David G. Retzioff, Department of Chemical Engineering, University
of Missouri, Columbia, USA"… a valuable addition to the bioenergy
literature. It outlines the essentials in biofuels and bioenergy
processing with authority and clarity. It is an excellent
read!"
—Khaled A.M. Gasem, School of Chemical Engineering, Oklahoma State
University, Stillwater, USA"The book provides current summary of
scientific and technical information, especially for researchers
working in the field of biofuels. It acknowledges the significance
of biomass usage as the oldest fuel in varied parts of the world
and to be the most sustainable form of energy with minimal
ecological impact and global climate change. The book provides
insight for a development of interest in the area of integrated
energy business through sustainable growth. Elevated global fossil
fuel demand, increase in crude prices, and depleting supply of
petroleum and natural gas in the near future have raised concerns
over serious environmental issues, like global warming and climate
change due to the emission of greenhouse gases. There arises a need
for knowledge excellence for leveraging competitive advantages in
R&D and technology sector. Hence, the book elucidates the need
to explore the potential alternative sources of clean and
sustainable energy resources to satisfy the global energy needs.
The book in view of the bioethanol industry covers the detailed
substantial information regarding different inter-disciplinary
areas along with techno-economic feasibility analysis."--Sanjeev S
