developments have occurred in the past decade, though policy objectives
remain similar: improving energy security and curbing greenhouse gas
emissions are, perhaps more than ever, important priorities for IEA countries.
And, more than ever, transportation energy... | | Eating Fossil Fuels: Oil, Food and the Coming Crisis in Agriculture

| | Advances in Bioethanol (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
Disadvantages of fossil fuel derived transportation fuels (greenhouse gas emissions,
pollution, resource depletion, unbalanced supply-demand relations) are strongly
reduced or even absent with biotransportation fuels. Of all biofuels, ethanol is
already produced on a fair scale. It produces slightly less greenhouse emissions than... | | |
