"Biofuels: Status and Perspective" ed. by Krzysztof Biernat

This volume presents the progress of first and second generation biofuel production technology in selected countries.

The book shows also some aspects of the environmental impact of the production and biofuels using, and describes perspectives of biofuel production technology development. It provides the review of biorefinery processes with a particular focus on pretreatment methods of selected primary and secondary raw materials.
The discussion includes also a possibility of sustainable development of presented advanced biorefinery processes.
