Description

Explore the complex role of maize in the global energy landscape with the Compendium of Bioenergy Plants: Corn. Published by CRC Press, this book provides a deep evaluation of corn as a bioenergy fuel source through two distinct lenses. It addresses the fundamental question of energy efficiency by analyzing whether the energy harvested from corn significantly exceeds the input energy required for its production. Beyond simple energy math, this text examines the broader implications of corn biomass. Readers will find detailed assessments of the social, economic, and political effects on fuel pricing and food costs. The book also addresses the environmental challenges associated with using corn as an engine of change in the energy sector. Looking toward the future, the content investigates potential genetic improvements to corn. This includes methods to increase biomass, make the cellulose-lignin complex easier to harvest and process, and the possibilities of growing corn in new regions. This resource is an essential study for those researching the intersection of botany, plant science, and renewable energy economics.

Key Features

Analyzes energy efficiency by comparing the energy harvested from corn to the total input energy required for production.

Evaluates the social, economic, and political impacts of corn biomass on global fuel pricing and food costs.

Examines the environmental challenges and opportunities presented by using corn as a primary bioenergy fuel source.

Investigates genetic improvement strategies to increase biomass and optimize the cellulose-lignin complex for easier processing.

Explores the potential for expanding corn cultivation into new geographic regions to support bioenergy needs.
