Foreword
Choosing feedstocks for
biofuels is an ongoing issue and making sure they don’t detract from food
sources is one of the principal concerns. However, starchy and sugary crops
like corn and potato can be some of the more straightforward crops for biofuel
production. Advanced biofuels enable the use of non-food biofuel feedstocks,
such as stems and leaves after harvesting for food, but these can be tough,
woody fibres where the sugars and starches are trivial to extract. New research
is experimenting with ways to unlock the useful materials contained in the
lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose parts of plant waste – using microbes to break down this biomass for feedstocks in advanced biofuel
production. Biodiesel is having
an interesting month this September. Prices in Germany for biodiesel have
increased by.........
