Industrial Uses of Biomass Energy demonstrates that energy-rich
vegetation, biomass, is a key renewable energy resource for the
future. Most energy scenarios recognise bioenergy as an important
component in the future world's energy outlook, both in developed
and developing countries. Brazil, uniquely, has a recent history of
large-scale biomass industrial uses that makes it a specially
important test-bed both for the development of biomass technology
and its utilisation, and for understanding how this is shaped by
political and socio-economic forces. Perhaps their most famous
development was PROALCOOL, the national programme for producing
fuel for the nation's automobiles from alcohol derived from sugar,
as a substitute for petrol. But other sectors of the Brazilian
economy traditionally, and presently, use biomass as a major energy
source. The book analyses the cause for this and the alternatives.
Finally, it is argued that Brazil's experience with the development
for industrial biomass use provides wider lessons and insights in
the context of the international movement for sustainable economic
development.
This book is an interdisciplinary, multi-author work, based upon a
recently completed international study by Brazilian and British
experts at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Energy Planning-NIPE,
State University Campinas and King's College, University of London.
