Explore the latest processes, techniques, and technologies to economically refine and produce biofuels

Featuring contributions from a wide range of experts in the field, this comprehensive guide explores biofuel chemistry, refining processes, and performance characteristics. Unlike most biofuel resources that broadly cover non-conventional energy sources, the book goes into specifics about engine performance, making it a highly valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners.

Grounded in professional relevance and expertise, Principles of Biofuels and Hydrogen Gas: Production and Engine Performance discusses the theories and experimental procedures required to economically prepare biofuels. You will get full coverage of extraction hydrogen gas from biomass and water media as well as refining biofuels from algae and biomass. End-of-chapter questions throughout reinforce comprehension.

- Provides information on biofuels that will benefit human health and the environment
- Covers biofuel properties, impacts, and economic factors
- Written by team of international experts led by a seasoned biofuels educator
