一般注記 | Includes bibliographical references and index "Written by a distinguished team from seven countries and multiple disciplines including petroleum engineering, ecology, and meteorology, this reference discusses biofuels within the context of the world population problem and simultaneous malnutrition problem. The book analyzes the uses and interdependencies among land, water, and fossil energy resources in food versus biofuel production, and takes a look at the environmental problems associated with such, as well as the implications of food shortages and serious destruction of vital oil resources. It includes case studies on the economic and environmental impacts of biofuel production and use from the United States, Europe, Brazil, and tropical environments"--Provided by publisher |
