Описание: This open access book presents a comprehensive analysis of biofuel use strategies from an interdisciplinary perspective using sustainability science. This interdisciplinary perspective (social science-natural science) means that the strategies and policy options proposed will have significant impacts on the economy and society alike. Biofuels are expected to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, revitalizing economies in agricultural communities and alleviating poverty. However, despite these anticipated benefits, international organizations such as the FAO, OECD and UN have published reports expressing concerns that biofuel promotion may lead to deforestation, water pollution and water shortages. The impacts of biofuel use are extensive, cross-sectoral and complex, and as such, comprehensive analyses are required in order to assess the extent to which biofuels can contribute to sustainable societies. Applying interdisciplinary sustainability science concepts and methodologies, the book helps to enhance the establishment of a sustainable society as well as the development of appropriate responses to a global need for urgent action on current issues related to biofuels.

Описание: This book provides a timely and insightful analysis of the expansion of biofuels production and use in recent years. Drawing on interviews with key policy insiders, Ackrill and Kay show how biofuels policies have been motivated by concerns over climate change, energy security and rural development.

Описание: A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter. Although biofuel is fast emerging as the oil of the future, a number of environmental effects of biofuel are also surfacing associated with its use. These biofuel environmental effects potentially include decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, pollution and the rate of biodegradation. Biofuels are only one component of a range of alternatives for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Whether using biodiesel is able to lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to the fossil fuels may depend on many factors. Carbon dioxide is known to be one of the major greenhouse gases. The plant feedstock used in the making biofuels absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when it grows and once the biomass is converted into biodiesel and burnt as fuel, the energy released is used to power an engine while the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. There can be grave effects of biodiesel fuel on environment if deforestation and monoculture farming techniques are used to grow biofuel crops. It may damage the ecosystems and biodiversity and increase the emission of climate change gases rather than helping controlling them. To meet the demand for cheap oil from the tropical region, the amount of arable land is being extended in order to increase production at the cost of tropical rainforest. Another of the environmental effects of biodiesel fuels can be seen in its biodegradation rates, which are five times faster than petroleum diesel over a period of 28 days. Biodiesel fuel blends can also accelerate the rate of petroleum diesel degradation through co-metabolism. Toxicity studies have revealed no mortalities and any toxic effects of biodiesel fuel on environment. This book, Environmental Impact of Biofuels, aims to be a comprehensive summary of current biofuels issues and thereby contribute to the understanding of this important topic. This book is recommended for anyone interested in understanding this diverse and developing theme..

Описание: This book discusses the biorefinery of biomass feedstocks. In-depth chapters highlight the scientific and technical aspects and present a techno-economic analysis of such systems. By using a TEA approach, the authors present feasible pathways for conversion of biomass (both residual biomass, energy crops and algae biomass), showing the different possibilities for the production of biochemical materials, biofuels, and fertilizers. The concepts presented in this book will link companies, investors, and governments by providing a framework that will help reduce pollutants and create a biomass related economy that incorporates the newest developments and technologies in the area.

Описание: This book examines recent developments in Latin American biofuel production. Taking "sustainable development" as a central theme, each chapter considers one country in the region and explores how biofuel production is evolving given concerns about food sovereignty, trade and other social issues.

Описание: Faced with the twin threats of peak oil and climate change, many governments have turned for an answer to the apparent panacea of biofuels. Yet, increasingly, the progressive implementation of this solution demonstrates that the promise of biofuels as a replacement to fossil fuels is in fact a mirage that, if followed, risks leaving us short of power, short of food and doing as much damage to the climate as ever -- let alone the consequent impact on biodiversity due to additional loss of habitat for agricultural production and on rural development due to the additional stress on traditional farming systems. Worse still, these risks are being ignored. In this definitive expos�, Mario Giampietro and Kozo Mayumi present a theoretical framework and exhaustive evidence for the case against large scale biofuel production from agricultural crops. This book will be vital, sobering reading for anyone concerned with energy or agricultural policy, or bioenergy as a complex system.

Описание:

Biofuels are a renewable source of energy used mainly for transportation. They link together food, energy and natural resources sectors, and involve ecological, social and inequality issues. They are an emblematic example of the interactions between economic, environmental, social and political decisions and, as a recent and complex issue, require updated and detailed information to be understood. This book aims to shed light on several economic, social and environmental issues connected to biofuel production and policies.
