21st Century Biofuels Encyclopedia, Bioenergy, Energy Crops, Biodiesel, Ethanol, Methanol, Government Incentives and Grants (Ringbound and Two CD-ROM Set)

This unique book and set of two CD-ROMs combines our ring-bound biofuel book and and an outstanding collection of documents (with over 51,000 pages) on two discs. Together, they present a completely revised collection of important documents, reports, and publications from the federal government about research and promotion of biofuels, including biomass, biodiesel, biopower, ethanol and methanol, hydrogen, methane, Fischer-Tropsch diesel, plant materials, and much more. There is extensive material from the databanks of every relevant federal agency Federal documents cover research and development programs from the U.S. Department of Energy and the USDA (Agriculture Department). New to this collection is extensive material from the Department of Energy's Genomics: GTL systems biology program which is creating a new generation of biological research enabled by the genome revolution. GTL will provide a systems-level approach to understanding and manipulating plants and microorganisms central to producing biofuels. As part of this effort, the Office of Science and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy held a joint workshop on Biomass to Biofuels. Topics covered include: Alternative Fuels Properties Comparison, Toolkits, Training, Education Resources, Vehicle Guide, Clean Cities, Fueling and Infrastructure, Fleet Applications, Niche Markets; Incentives and Laws. Biomass resources: Corn Stover, Bagasse, Wood Chips, Switchgrass, hybrid poplar. Feedstock.
