In line withthe current focusona sustainable economy, bioethanoland
other biofuels have received tremendous attention, making many
headlines. Being produced in steadily growingvolumes has made it
necessary to consider p- duction of biofuels from renewable raw
materials that are not currently used. Therefore, the production of
biofuels is at the gateway of moving from tra- tionalrawmaterials

requires new production processes that are economically feasible.
This volume addresses and discusses the current status of biofuels,
covering aspects from enabling technologies to different technology
and processes - tions,aswellaseconomicalandpolicyperspectives.

within industrial biotechnology (de?ned as the application of
biotechnology for the processing and production of chemicals,
material, and energy). The technology development driven by the
interest in biofuels will lead to - periences most valuable for
introduction of other industrial biotechnology processes. In
parallel, scienti?c developments in the post-genomic era and
achievements in systems biology will allow the necessary
development and ?ne-tuning of the biological catalyst. In light of
this, the development of b- fuelprocesses,presented inthisvolume,

authors that have contributed to the volume for their dedicated
effort and their excellent contribution. I hope that you as a
reader will enjoy the volume.
