Traditional agriculture and emerging biofuels technology produce a
number of wastes and by-products, ranging from corn fiber and
glycerin to animal manure, that have the potential to serve as the
basis for additional sources of bioenergy that includes both liquid
biofuels and biogas.
Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts is
the first book to focus solely on the production of biofuels
primarily from agricultural waste and by-products. The book is
divided roughly into two sections. The first section looks at
liquid biofuel production from agricultural byproducts,
densification of agricultural residues, and the delivery from farm
to processing plant of waste and byproducts for use in biofuel
production. The second section focuses on anaerobic digestion of
food and animal wastes, microbial diversity, molecular and
biochemical aspects of methanogensis.
Together these sections solidify Biofuels from
Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts as a definitive source of
information on the use of agricultural waste and by-products in
biofuel production.
