Summary

Climate change issues, the reduced world reserves of fossils, and higher and higher fuel prices play an important role in the development of clean technologies, such as biohydrogen, biodiesel and bioethanol, for producing renewable energy. This book gathers and presents current research from across the globe in the study of clean energy resources, their production and developments.
