| Publisher Description: In the light of petroleum depletion, it is essential that governments promote and facilitate the use of alternative fuels. This timely handbook describes the options available for the production of synthetic fuels from biological sources. Each chapter contains tables of the chemical and physical properties of the fuels and fuel sources that are essential for understanding the nature of the feedstocks and their products. The sources considered include conventional and uncoventional fuel sources; the production and properties of biomass, crops, wood, domestic and industrial waste, and landfill gas. |
