Description

Policy makers are sometimes faced with the challenge of making decisions based on the choice of biomass feedstocks to promote. As such, the book presents an examination of trade-off decisions that sometimes have to be made between the choices of feedstock needed to achieve the desired economic, social and ecological sustainability. In this book, readers find very resourceful information on the critical assessment and discussions on biomass as a feedstock across three major themes: production practices, technologies and environmental impacts. It gives useful insight into relatively unexplored pathways for biomass use in extant literature. The book will appeal to a broad range of energy professionals and specialists, researchers, students and others interested in the field of biomass feedstocks and sustainable energy. In ensuring that the environmental benefits of biomass derived fuel and energy are fully achieved, it is imperative that its environmental impacts are properly managed. Therefore, the book further provides readers with some unique methods of managing the environmental impacts of alternative biomass derived feedstocks.
