Synopsis
As sustainable energy sources are increasingly being considered as an alternative to environmentally damaging conventional energy sources, so the popularity of Biofuels has been revived. Power Plants explores the many different types now in use, from farm slurry to gasohol, and explains how these fuels are industrially converted into useable forms of energy for heat, electricity and transport. As well as exploring how you may use biofuels in the home and on the farm, the book gives a detailed assessment of the environmental implications for using biomass as an alternative source of energy.
