This guide to investing in the bioenergy market covers the topic from both a scientific, economic and political perspective. It describes the increasing number of second generation biodiesel projects which are now emerging in anticipation of growing sustainability concerns by governments, and in response to market demands for improved process efficiencies and greater feedstock production yields. The book also closely examines the science and technology involved in second generation biofuels and gives concrete examples, such as in the aviation industry. The result is an essential guide for scientists, investors, politicians and decision-makers in the energy sector.Content: Chapter 1 The Commodity Case – Introduction (pages 1–19): Chapter 2 First? and Second?Generation Biofuels (pages 21–29): Chapter 3 Biofuels Feedstock: Jatropha curcas (pages 31–69): Chapter 4 Other Biofuel Feedstocks (pages 71–96): Chapter 5 Cropping Methods (pages 97–99): Chapter 6 Socially Responsible Investing (pages 101–109): Chapter 7 Sustainability (pages 111–112): Chapter 8 Biomass (pages 113–125): Chapter 9 Carbon Credits (pages 127–131): Chapter 10 Biofuels in Europe – EU Policies (pages 133–136): Chapter 11 Biofuels in the United States (pages 137–140): Chapter 12 Biofuels in China (pages 141–158): Chapter 13 Biofuels in Brazil (pages 159–168): Chapter 14 Biofuels and Biomass in Africa (pages 169–172): Chapter 15 General Aviation and Biofuels (pages 173–178): Chapter 16 Aviation and Carbon Credits (pages 179–181): Chapter 17 Biokerosene (pages 183–191): Chapter 18 Fermenting Fuels (pages 193–196): Chapter 19 Airline Test Results with Biofuels (pages 197–206): Chapter 20 Investment Opportunities (pages 207–221): Chapter 21 Jatropha Projects, Research, and Joint Ventures (pages 223–226): Chapter 22 The Future (pages 227–234):
