| World fossil oil production is struggling to meet demand so it is necessary to develop energy efficient production pathways for transportation biofuels. This book provides insight into three promising and innovative pathways for the biological production of the main transportation biofuels: biodiesel, ethanol and methane. These offer higher yields, less stringent feedstock specifications, lower chemical additive demand, reduced waste production and better energy balances than conventional methods. The first involves the enzymatic production of a new kind of biodiesel where product yield is increased by 20%. The other two pathways are based on the biological conversion of syngas into ethanol and methane. The book reflects not only extended research but also shows practical experimental results. |
