The book is presented in an easy-to-understand manner for non-experts, nevertheless revealing the true challenges of this extremely broad area.
Through this book, passionate pioneers and (ex-)EU officials tell the interesting history of the use of biomass by mankind in general and how the future of its modern use was shaped by active support of the European Union.
The book mainly emphasizes specific technologies, both biological and thermo-chemical, from simple to extremely complex.
Recognized experts explain these technologies in a clear way along with their future prospects.
Climb on the shoulders of all 35 authors of the book and look into the close and distant future where interaction with other renewable sources will occur, and discover a renewable energy future in which an important role will be played by the oldest one—bioenergy.
