Bioenergy

The renewable energy that is made from the materials that are derived from biological sources is known as bioenergy. These are organic materials that have stored sunlight in the form of chemical energy. A few of such materials are wood, straw, wood waste, manure, sugarcane and other crop residues that can be used as fuels. Various agricultural products such as corn, soybeans, willow, switchgrass and sugarcane are specifically grown for the production of biofuel. Dry and combustible agricultural products such as wood pellets can be burned to boil water, and the steam generated is used to drive a turbine to produce electricity. Municipal and household waste can also be used as a source of bioenergy. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. It explores all the important aspects of bioenergy in the present day scenario. This book will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
