Plant and Algae Biomass : Feasible Sources for Biofuel Production, Paperback / softback Book

Plant and Algae Biomass : Feasible Sources for Biofuel Production Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume discusses how plant and algae organisms play a pivotal role in the transformation of solar energy to essential metabolites, and explores the numerous beneficial roles these metabolites have at an industrial level.

It presents information on the utilization of plant and algae for biomass production, and shows how this is a practical option for large scale biofuel production.

The book examines how these bio-metabolites can then be used to extract biofuel.

Biomass produced from plants and algae can act as the source of feedstock for biofuel production and industrially important compounds.

This book also explores that by curtailing culturing cost using wastewater, seawater, and industrial water as a nutrient and water source, biomass becomes an economical energy source.

The introductory chapters of the book focus on the appreciative values of a pollution-free atmosphere, with special reference to enhanced greenhouse effect, and then are followed by chapters on the potential of plant and algae as a liquid energy resource.

This book targets researchers, graduate students, and energy and fuel industry professionals interested in the plant sciences, biotechnology and renewable energy.
