"Biofuels: Biotechnology, Chemistry, and Sustainable Development" Second Edition

A “second edition” of Biofuels: Biotechnology, Chemistry, and Sustainable Development. Only two years after its first publication, a major rewrite is now at the final proof stage. Incorporating a detailed analysis of the Indirect Land Use issue that threatens the whole future of biofuels production, the effects of the slump of 2007-2008, and with many updates to the quantitative arguments, Introduction to Biofuels builds on its predecessor’s treatment of the science, technology, engineering, economics, history and environmental impacts of biofuels production. Due out in late 2010, the publisher is again CRC Press (part of the Taylor & Francis Group).
