Bioethanol Production from Food Crops: Sustainable Sources, Interventions and Challenges comprehensively
covers the global scenario of ethanol production from both food and
non-food crops and other sources. The book guides readers through the
balancing of the debate on food vs. fuel, giving important insights into
resource management and the environmental and economic impact of this
balance between demands. Sections cover Global Bioethanol from Food
Crops and Forest Resource, Bioethanol from Bagasse and Lignocellulosic
wastes, Bioethanol from algae, and Economics and Challenges, presenting a
multidisciplinary approach to this complex topic.
As biofuels
continue to grow as a vital alternative energy source, it is imperative
that the proper balance is reached between resource protection and human
survival. This book provides important insights into achieving that
balance.
- Presents technological interventions in ethanol production, from plant biomass, to food crops
- Addresses food security issues arising from bioethanol production
- Identifies development bottlenecks and areas where collaborative efforts can help develop more cost-effective technology
