This has inspired intense research into sustainable energy sources. Biofuels seemed initially promising, but the world soon realized that food-based biofuel has its own dangers. Second-generation biofuels, however, use biomass from crops' inedible parts—such as the stalks and leaves of sugarcane—offering a far more practical, sustainable, and commercially viable solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, researchers from around the world review some of the most important and timely topics related to using sugarcane feedstock for biofuel. After a basic overview, topics such as these are included:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePretreatment methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe use of various microbial technologies, including bacteria and yeast, to enhance biofuel production\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental impacts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEconomic feasibility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe viability of electricity being produced side by side with biofuel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssential reading for graduate students and research scientists investigating second-generation biofuels, this book is also recommended for environmentalists, environmental engineers, and microbiologists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45599740952814,"sku":"9781771881296","price":201.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781771881296.jpg?v=1721457565","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/sugarcane-as-biofuel-feedstock-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
