Riassunto

Global Bioethanol: Evolution, Risks, and Uncertainties offers a thorough examination of the uncertainties surrounding bioethanol in the future global energy mix. The book discusses several contributing factors by analyzing data from scientific, technical, and technological databases (patents, trademarks, scientific and technical publications) from different countries. The book also features original primary data about the industry's efforts in R&D and innovation. As a result, the book identifies the trends for bioethanol, making it relevant for those involved in the field of bioenergy, such as professionals in industry, government, and consultancy, students, and those interested in the bioethanol supply chain or any of its particular stages, including feedstock production, conversion, economic aspects, and policy.
