This book brings the reader up to date with the latest advances and developments in the field, and reviews current approaches. Part one considers the economic effects of biofuel production. Here, the contributors examine topics including the development of the multi-fuel burner, feedstocks for second-generation biodiesel, and the challenges posed by wheat-based bioethanol production. Part two considers alternative fuels in general. Studies presented here address subjects including experiments with biomass waste as a renewable source of biogas production, alternative fuels in cement manufacturing, and the development of mini hydrogen fuel cells. Finally, part three offers detailed studies of bioethanol. The authors present their findings on topics including SSF fermentation of rape straw, the effects on inhibitory stress on yeast, and catalytic hydrogen production from bioethanol. The contributors are experts in their field and bring their experience from around the world, making this an essential text for readers interested in the future of alternative fuels.
