Biomass to Biofuels - Strategies for Global IndustriesBiomass to Biofuels: Strategies for Global Industries

By Alain Vertes, Nasib Qureshi, Hideaki Yukawa and Hans Blaschek

Focusing on challenges to the billion-ton renewable fuels vision, this book discusses the technological and business developments needed to industrialize biofuels on a global scale.

Technological issues addressed include fermentation and downstream processing technologies, as compared to current industrial practice and process economics.

Business issues covered span the entire biofuel value chain, from financing to manufacturing, to raw material farming, collection, and transport to the point of sale.
