Biofuels
The science of creating greener energy

 

 

Abstract

Higher gasoline prices, dependence on foreign oil and concerns about global warming have placed biofuels in the spotlight. However, no one thinks that turning food crops into fuel is going to quench our thirst for fossil fuels. Not enough land is available. Instead, innovative, interdisciplinary research efforts are focused on discovering new sources of biofuels and developing efficient ways to produce the fuels and make them a feasible, long-term solution to our energy needs.
