Advanced Biofuels | Using Catalytic Routes for the Conversion of Bioma

Book

Advanced Biofuels

ABSTRACT

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.Sustainability demands that we meet the needs of our present world without compromising the needs of future generations. As a result, sources and methodologies for renewable energy are being urgently investigated. Biomassoffers one of the most readily implemented, low-cost alternatives to fossil
