The feasibility of producing alcohol fuels from biomass in Australia
Mardon, Chris - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 27 (2007) 2, pp. 138-159
Apart from cost, the net production of energy is the most important factor in evaluating the feasibility of producing renewable fuels from woody biomass. Unlike sugar, the effort required to make woody materials fermentable is considerable, and has been a major barrier to the use of such...
