Biomass for renewable energy, fuels, and chemicals

"This book addresses the history of biomass energy research, its development, deployment efforts, the environmental impact of biomass energy usage, its potential for replacing fossil fuels, many commercial systems already in place, and conventional and advanced biomass energy technologies." "Biomass for Renewable Energy, Fuels, and Chemicals serves as a comprehensive introduction to the subject for the student and the educator and is useful for researchers who are interested in the technical details of biomass energy production. The coverage and discussion are multidisciplinary, reflecting the many scientific and engineering disciplines involved. The book will appeal to a broad range of energy professionals and specialists, farmers and foresters who are searching for methods of selecting, growing, and converting energy crops, entrepreneurs who are commercializing biomass energy projects, and those involved in designing solid and liquid waste disposal-energy recovery systems."--Jacket.
