Quantifying Bio-Engineering: The Importance of Biophysics in Biofuel Research

Year: 2011

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: The decreasing availability and the increasing demand for fossil energy sources as well as concerns of irreversible climate change have sparked a quest for alternative energy sources, including carbon-neutral transportation fuels. One such alternative to fossil fuels is biofuel produced from currently unused plant biomass. Since lignocellulosic biomass-unlike corn-
