Biomass and Bio-refining Technologies for Renewable Energy

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.Cheremisinoff, Nicholas P. is the author of 'Biomass and Bio-refining Technologies for Renewable Energy', published 2007 under ISBN 9781420060171 and ISBN 1420060171.
