The ASM Press has released Bioenergy, a new book focusing on microorganisms as a sustainable and cost-effective source of alternative energy.
Bioenergy can be purchased through ASM Press online at http://estore.asm.org or through Amazon.
In 31 detailed chapters, Bioenergy provides thorough explanations of the current knowledge and future areas for research on microbial energy conversions. The volume begins with 10 chapters on ethanol production from cellulosic feedstocks, which is more sustainable than ethanol production from corn. These chapters are followed by explanations of the status of energy sources that are in various stages of development, including methane, methanol, hydrogen, electricity, and butanol. Also examined are possible areas for new research that may contribute to future breakthroughs via alternative fuels. Chapters are written by experts currently engaged in the research, who not only present the current status but also lay the foundations for future research and development.
"This project grew out of awareness that we as professional microbiologists have an obligation to take the lead in developing renewable sources of fuels that are more nearly carbon-neutral and can replace the demand for dwindling fossil fuels. We hope that this compilation of these accounts of ongoing research will stimulate and inspire bright scientists who will, in turn, contribute the major breakthroughs needed to make an impact. A brief glance at the Contents will reveal to the interested lay person the remarkable variety of microbial activities that have the potential to contribute to biofuel production," says Wall.
Bioenergy can be purchased through ASM Press online at http://estore.asm.org or through Amazon.
