Opportunities and Challenges of Biofuel Production; Index; Back coverFrom its humble beginning in the late 19th century?when Henry Ford's first car was designed to run on ethanol?biofuel production has been on the rise with more than 26 billion liters produced in the U.S. in 2007. Ethanol made from biomass (rather than grains) holds great promise, including numerous economic and environmental benefits. However, the adverse interactions of energy, climate, food, and soil quality cannot be ignored. In eight concise chapters, Soil Quality and Biofuel Production presents a state-of-the-knowledge review of soil properties and procesAdvances in soil science (Boca Raton, Fla.)Biomass energyEnvironmental aspectsSoilsQualityBiomass energyEnvironmental aspects.SoilsQuality.662/.6692Lal R1635819Stewart B.
