Jones and Mayfield explore the creation and history of fossil fuels, their impact on the environment, and how they have become critical to our society. The authors also outline how adopting sustainable biofuels will be key to the future of energy stability and discuss a number of renewable energy options and biofuel feedstocks that are replacements for petroleum-based products. Our society is consuming energy at an alarming rate, and the authors warn that continuing fuel-usage patterns could permanently damage the environment. This book emphasizes the importance of continued scientific, agricultural, and engineering development while it outlines the political and environmental challenges that will accompany a complete shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy and biomass. Our Energy Future is an accessible resource for undergraduate students studying biofuels and bioenergy. 606 $aBiomass energy$vTextbooks 606 $aBiomass energy$xEnvironmental aspects$vTextbooks 606 $aRenewable energy sources$vTextbooks 606 $aFossil fuels$xHistory$vTextbooks 606 $aFossil fuels$xEnvironmental aspects 610 $aalternative fuels. 610 $abiofuel feedstocks. 610 $abiofuels. 610 $abiomass. 610 $acreation of fossil fuels. 610 $aenergy production. 610 $aenergy stability. 610 $aenergy textbook. 610 $aenvironmental impact of fossil fuels. 610 $afuel usage patterns. 610 $ahistory of fossil fuels. 610 $apetroleum based fuels. 610 $areliance on fossil fuels. 610 $arenewable energy options. 610 $arenewable energy. 610 $arenewable fuels. 610 $ascientific study of fuel. 610 $astudy of energy production. 610 $asustainable biofuels. 610 $asustainable energy. 615 0$aBiomass energy 615 0$aBiomass energy$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aFossil fuels$xHistory 615 0$aFossil fuels$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a662/.88 700 $aJones$b Carla S.$f1981-$01622482 702 $aMayfield$b Stephen P.$f1955- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816185703321 996 $aOur energy future$93956370 997 $aUNINA
