This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. The
information contained in this compendium volume sets the stage for
the future's large-scale production of biofuels. Biomass is an
abundant carbon-neutral renewable feedstock for producing fuel.
First-generation biofuels gained attention for their problems, but
the authors of this book demonstrate that they are well on their
way to creating practical and sustainable second-generation
biofuels. The book begins with an introduction to synthetic
biology. Next, it covers pretreatment technologies, advanced
microbial technologies, genetic engineering as it relates to
biofuel technologies, and nanotechnology and chemical engineering
in relation to biofuels. Well-respected in his field, the editor's
firsthand experience gives him the perspective to create a thorough
review of the relevant literature. Each chapter is written by
experts in biotechnologies, offering graduate and post-doctorate
students, as well as other scientific researchers, a wide-angle
look at biofuel technologies. At the same time, this volume points
to promising directions for new research.
