Advanced Transport Biofuels

Advanced Transport Biofuels: Production, Economics, and Sustainability provides a comprehensive review of the latest in the production, economics, and sustainability of advanced transport biofuels globally. Drawing upon the latest developments in academia and industry globally, the book reviews biofuels policy and the techno-economic of biofuels production. The technical considerations in the combustion of biofuels are discussed alongside the latest lab-scale and industrial-level combustion property testing using biofuels and biojet fuels. Finally, a life-cycle analysis of biofuel production is conducted related to the sustainability issues in production. Advances Transport Biofuels is an invaluable review of the current state of the biofuels industry, policies, technologies, and economic and sustainability issues related to biofuels applications that will be of interest to graduate students and researchers involved in the development and implementation of alternative fuels in the transportation industry. The book will also be of interest to professional engineers and policymakers working in the automotive industry and involved in the application of alternative fuels. Synthesizes the latest data on global biofuel production and consumption, biofuel emissions, projection of growth of biofuel production, trends in biofuel production based on the latest industrial reports and academic reviewsAnalyses the global trends in GHG emissions of biofuels usage in the transportation sectorCompares biofuel policy across different regions, including industrial initiatives in promoting sustainable biofuelsPresents state-of-the-art technology in sustainable biofuel production, emerging technology of fuel production from different biomass, and an overview of current biofuel production worldwideAssesses and identifies the challenges in production of biofuel at scale and the technical considerations of combusting in real engines, supported by the latest in-lab and actual combustion testing, and flight tests using biojet fuelsExamines the life cycle analysis of sustainable biofuels, providing the methodology for calculating GHG emissions and sustainability of fuel production in relation to the nexus of environment and natural resources
