Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The aim of this book is to provide an integrated framework for the teaching, research, and application of science and engineering to the sustained production, transformation, utilisation, and impact of biomass energy. Coverage focuses on four main areas: biomass and bioenergy; bioenergy production and accounting; biomass conversion and end-use technologies; and an appraisal of the costs and benefits of biomass energy.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
