Biofuels: Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Global Warming / Kumar, Ashwani ; Ogita, Shinjiro ; Yau, Yuan-Yeu
TÃtulo : Biofuels: Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Global Warming : Next Generation Biofuels and Role of Biotechnology Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Kumar, Ashwani, ; Ogita, Shinjiro, ; Yau, Yuan-Yeu, Mención de edición: 1 ed. Editorial: New Delhi [India] : Springer Fecha de publicación: 2018 Número de páginas: XXIII, 432 p. 147 ilustraciones, 97 ilustraciones en color. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-81-322-3763-1 Nota general: Libro disponible en la plataforma SpringerLink. Descarga y lectura en formatos PDF, HTML y ePub. Descarga completa o por capítulos. Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Fuentes de energÃa renovable Ambiente Agricultura Tecnologia Educacional SociologÃa económica EnergÃa renovable Ciencias ambientales Educación Digital y TecnologÃa Educativa Clasificación: 621.042 Resumen: Este oportuno libro es una recopilación de artÃculos editados por distinguidos cientÃficos internacionales que analizan el calentamiento global, sus causas y sus soluciones presentes y futuras. El crecimiento social y económico a nivel global se mide en términos del PIB, lo que requiere insumos de energÃa generalmente basados ​​en recursos de combustibles fósiles. Estos, sin embargo, contribuyen en gran medida al aumento de los niveles de CO2, provocando 15 toneladas de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero per cápita. Las fuentes de energÃa renovables ofrecen una alternativa a los combustibles fósiles y ayudarÃan a reducirlas a las 2 toneladas de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero per cápita por año necesarias para lograr un crecimiento sostenible. Como tal, el libro analiza la próxima generación de biocombustibles y todos los aspectos relacionados, basándose en las importantes investigaciones de los editores sobre los biocombustibles durante los últimos 30 años. También presenta los últimos resultados de las investigaciones realizadas por investigadores contemporáneos. Al presentar perspectivas globales sobre biocombustibles, examina diversas cuestiones relacionadas con el desarrollo sostenible de los biocombustibles en los contextos de la agricultura, la silvicultura, la industria y el crecimiento económico. Cubre los biocombustibles de primera a cuarta generación, asà como el estado de los recursos de biocombustibles y su potencial en una economÃa neutra en carbono. Ofreciendo una visión integral y de vanguardia de los biocombustibles actuales y futuros a nivel local y global, este libro atrae a administradores, formuladores de polÃticas, universidades e instituciones de investigación.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This timely book is a compilation of edited articles by distinguished international scientists discussing global warming, its causes as well as present and future solutions. Social and economic growth at global level is measured in terms of GDP, which requires energy inputs generally based on fossil fuel resources. These, however, are major contributors to increasing levels of CO2, causing 15 tonnes of green house gas emissions per capita. Renewable sources of energy offer an alternative to fossil fuels, and would help reduce this to the 2 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per capita per annum needed to achieve sustainable growth. As such, the book discusses the next-generation of biofuels and all related aspects, based on the editors' significant investigations on biofuels over the last 30 years. It also presents the latest research findings from research work carried out by contemporary researchers. Presenting global biofuel perspectives, it examines various issues related to sustainable development of biofuels in the contexts of agriculture, forestry, industry and economic growth. It covers the 1st to 4th generation biofuels, as well as the status of biofuel resources and their potential in carbon neutral economy. Offering a comprehensive, state-of-art overview of current and future biofuels at local and global levels, this book appeals to administrators, policy makers, universities and research institutions.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : The use of fossil fuels results in rising CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, causing global temperature rise and climate change that will negatively impact human health, the food supply, and eventually worsen hunger and misery. Presently, fossil fuels meet 88% of the energy demand, resulting in rising CO2/GHG emissions at alarming rates. The increased use of biofuels would help to mitigate climate change. Efficiently designing methods for the production of biofuels and plant-derived high-value products requires a deeper understanding of photosynthetic processes as a prerequisite for applying novel biotechnologies. Accordingly, this book provides ample information and a wealth of illustrative examples. The book's eighteen richly illustrated chapters are divided into three thematic parts. I: Photosynthesis and Biomass Production under Changing Conditions, II: Microalgae and Engineered Crops for Production of Biofuels andHigh-value Products, and III: Genetic Resources and Engineering Methods to Improve Crop Plants. Readers will find the latest information on the molecular basis of photosynthetic processes in plants (including the regulatory principles that allow plants to maintain homeostasis under changing conditions), stress resistance and synthetic pathways. In addition, the basic principles of important biotechnologies, as well as examples of specially designed crops capable of growing under stress conditions with improved productivity, are presented. The book sets the course for future research in the field of biofuel development and production and provides both general and specific information for students, teachers, academic researchers, industrial teams, and general readers who are interested in new developments concerning the production of biofuels with value-added properties.
