Biodiesel
Springer 2007; US$ 84.99Environmental and political concerns are generating a growing interest in alternative engine fuels such as biodiesel. Biodiesel is a renewable energy source produced from natural oils and fats, which can be used as a substitute for petroleum diesel without the need for diesel engine modification. In addition to being biodegradable and non-toxic, biodiesel... more...
Biofuels
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99Biofuel is a renewable energy source produced from natural (biobased) materials. This book discusses the production of transportation fuels from biomass (such as wood, straw and household waste) by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It is suitable for undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in energy engineering, and professional fuel engineers. more...
Biohydrogen

Methane Gas Hydrate
Springer 2010; US$ 119.99Gas hydrates represent one of the world's largest untapped reservoirs of energy and, according to some estimates, have the potential to meet global energy needs for the next thousand years. "Methane Gas Hydrate" examines this potential by focusing on methane gas hydrate, which is increasingly considered a significant source of energy.... more...
Algae Energy
Springer 2010; US$ 159.99Algal oil can be an important source of biomass and algae's ability to grow almost anywhere has encouraged scientists to also investigate its potential as a source of biodiesel. "Algae Energy" covers the production of algae culture and the usage of algal biomass conversion products. It also reviews modern biomass-based transportation... more...
Gasoline, Diesel and Ethanol Biofuels from Grasses and Plants
Cambridge University Press 2010; US$ 67.00This book introduces readers to second-generation biofuels obtained from non-food biomass, such as forest residue, agricultural residue, and waste wood. more...
