"Bioethanol" ed. by Marco Aurelio Pinheiro Lima and Alexandra Pardo Policastro Natalense

Biofuels is a highlight and the central theme of this book.

The first section presents some research results for first generation ethanol production from starch and sugar raw materials.
Chapters in the second section present results on some efforts around the world to develop an efficient technology for producing second-generation ethanol from different types of lignocellulosic materials.
The chapter in the third section points to the use of hydrogen in fuel cells, where this hydrogen could be produced from ethanol.
