| 520 | _a“Biofuels for Road Transport: A Seed-to-Wheel Perspective” provides a review of the history, current status, and perspectives for biofuels used in road transport across the full'seed-to-wheel' life cycle of these fuels. Successive chapters cover the history of biofuels, the first- and second-generation liquid fuels and biofuels for powering electric vehicles, fossil fuel replacement, land requirements, greenhouse gas balances, and environmental burdens of ethanol, esters derived from fatty acids (‘biodiesel’), Fischer-Tropsch diesel, and HTU diesel; competing technologies (fossil fuels, increases in energy efficiency, and photovoltaic power) and how they compare to biofuels; and the perspectives for biofuels. Cost, availability, technological development, competition with biomass for food and for soil organic carbon, and environmental perspectives are also discussed. | ||
