The book compares the various processes for the production of biofuels, including the cost of cellulose production and availability. Biofuels are considered to be the main alternatives to fossil fuels in reducing environmental pollution and climate change. Currently, all existing biofuel production is suffering because of the high costs of production processes. As a result, cost effective practical implementation is needed to make this a viable energy alternative.
- Introduces new and innovative strategies for cellulase enzyme production at industrial scale
- Provides sustainable approaches to produce cellulase at low cost
- Covers all aspect and possible factors for economical, low cost, cellulase mediated biofuels production
