Elsevier Advanced Transport Biofuels: Production, Economics, and Sustainability (Woodhead Series in Bioenergy)

Advanced Transport Biofuels: Production, Economics, and Sustainability provides a comprehensive review of the latest in the global production, economics, and sustainability of advanced transport biofuels. Drawing upon the latest developments in academia and industry globally, the book reviews biofuels policy and the technoeconomics of biofuels production. The technical considerations in the combustion of biofuels are discussed alongside the latest lab-scale and industrial-level combustion property testing using biofuels and biojet fuels. Finally, a lifecycle analysis of biofuel production is conducted related to the sustainability issues in production. This is an invaluable review of the current state of the biofuels industry, policies, technologies, and economic and sustainability issues related to biofuels applications that will be of interest to graduate students and researchers involved in the development and implementation of alternative fuels in the transportation industry. The book will also be of interest to professional engineers and policymakers working in the automotive industry and involved in the application of alternative fuels. Synthesizes the latest data on global biofuel production and consumption, biofuel emissions, projection of growth of biofuel production, trends in biofuel production based on the latest industrial reports, and academic reviews Analyzes global trends in GHG emissions of biofuels usage in the transportation sector Compares biofuel policy across different regions, including industrial initiatives in promoting sustainable biofuels Presents state-of-the-art technology in sustainable biofuel production, emerging technology of fuel production from different biomass, and an overview of current biofuel production worldwide
