ABSTRACT

There has been a significant effort to develop a potentially cost-effective process to produce bio-fuel from cellulosic sources. In our typology of waste covered in this book, important cellulosic sources could be identified for example in agro-industrial waste. Cellulosic bio-fuel sources have the potential to offer greater energy return on investment in comparison to grains (which might better support food security) while they provide environmental benefits by reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
