- Summary:
- Sugarcane has garnered much interest for its potential as a viable renewable energy crop. While the use of sugar juice for ethanol production has been in practice for years, a new focus on using the fibrous coproduct known as bagasse for producing renewable fuels and bio-based chemicals is growing in interest. The success of these efforts, and the development of new varieties of energy canes, could greatly increase the use of sugarcane and sugarcane biomass for fuels while enhancing industry sustainability and competitiveness. --
Sugarcane-Based Bofuels and Bioproducts examines the development of a suite of established and developing biofuels and other renewable products derived from sugarcane and sugarcane-based coproducts, such as bagasse. The chapters provide a broad-ranging coverage of sugarcane biology, biotechnological advances, and breakthroughs in production and processing techniques. --
This text brings together essential information regarding the development and utilization of new fuels and bioproducts derived from sugarcane. Authored by experts in the field, Sugarcane-Based Biofuels and Bioproducts is an invaluable resource for researchers studying biofuels, sugarcane, and plant biotechnology as well as for sugar and biofuels industry personnel. --
Overviews technology for the development and production of sugarcane-based biofuels --
Explores conversion of both sugar and sugarcane residues, such as bagasse, into renewable fuels and bioproducts --
