Description
Book SynopsisThe increasing deployment of bioenergy frequently raises issues regarding the use of land and raw materials, infrastructure and logistics. In light of these sometimes conflicting interests Advances in Bioenergy provides an objective and wide-ranging overview of the technology, economics and policy of bioenergy.
Offering an authoritative multidisciplinary summary of the opportunities and challenges associated with bioenergy utilization, with international researchers give up-to-date anddetailed informationon key issues for biomass production and conversion to energy.
Key features:
*Discusses different bioenergy uses such as transportation fuels, electricity and heat production.
*Assesses emerging fields such as bio-based chemicals and bio-refineries.
*Debates conditions for the mobilization of sustainable bioenergy supply chains and outlines governance systems to support this mobilization.
* Dedicated chapters to sustainabilitygovernan
