Biomass currently accounts for about fifteen per cent of global
primary energy consumption and is playing an increasingly important
role in the face of climate change, energy and food security
concerns. Handbook of Bioenergy Crops is a unique reference and
guide, with extensive coverage of more than eighty of the main
bioenergy crop species. For each it gives a brief description,
outlines the ecological requirements, methods of propagation, crop
management, rotation and production, harvesting, handling and
storage, processing and utilization, then finishes with selected
references. This is accompanied by detailed guides to biomass
accumulation, harvesting, transportation and storage, as well as
conversion technologies for biofuels and an examination of the
environmental impact and economic and social dimensions, including
prospects for renewable energy. This is an indispensable resource
for all those involved in biomass production, utilization and
research.
