Biomass is a widely available resource, that can be characterized
by its high production potential. Enabling the production of
different types of biofuels, biomass can be used in both
spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines. There is extensive
knowledge of the biofuel production process, and technologies
enabling the production of biofuels with high caloric value and
better physicochemical properties are developed. The biggest
barrier in the development of a biofuels market is not the lack of
know-how, but economic and political aspects. Biomass for Biofuels
presents technological aspects of biomass conversion into advanced
biofuels. Also discussed are the influence of growing biofuels
markets on the natural environment and social relations as well as
economic aspects of acquisition of biomass and its processing into
biofuels. In addition biomass characteristics are presented. A
definition is provided, and its chemical composition and properties
detailed. The focus is on lignocellulosic biomass, whose complex
structure is a limiting factor for biofuels production via
biological processes. For that reason, echanical, chemical and
physicochemical methods that enable an increased availability for
the microorganisms used for biomass conversion to biofuels are
discussed.
