<br/><br/>Coupled with increasing oil prices, increasing awareness of the global impacts of greenhouse gases has led to concerns over the continued consumption of fossil fuels worldwide.<br/><br/>Consequently, many developed and developing countries have considered the possibility of large-scale production and sue of biofuels, such as bio-ethanol and bio-diesel, as alternatives to hydrocarbon fuels.<br/><br/><br/>Biofuels: towards a greener and secure energy future provides an assessment of current practices and knowledge on the production, conversion, and use of biofuels, and is the result of experiences provided by a diverse group of distinguished persons who have been dealing with this subject for some time now. The book is intended to be a ready reckoner for individuals, farmers, policy-makers, researchers, automobile manufacturers, as well as agencies and institutions interested in taking forward the energy security agenda in general and the promotion of biofuels in particular.<br/><br/>Table of Contents<br/><br/>Foreword<br/>Vinod Khosla, Partner,Khosla Ventures<br/>Introduction<br/>R K Pachauri<br/><br/>SECTION 1: Policy issues in biofuels<br/>Biofuels in the Indian perspective<br/>Leena Srivastava<br/><br/>The Indian biofuels programme: the National Mission on Bio-diesel<br/>R Mandal and Parveen Mithra<br/><br/>Biofuels: helping India reduce oil dependence<br/>K S Sethi<br/><br/>SECTION 2: Bio-ethanol production<br/>Bio-ethanol: lessons from the Brazilian experience<br/>Oswalldo Lucon<br/><br/>International experiences in biofuels<br/>Prabha Dhavala<br/><br/>Alternative feedstock for bio-ethanol production in India<br/>Linoj Kumar NV and Sameer Maithel<br/><br/>SECTION 3: Bio-diesel from jatropha<br/>Bio-diesel from jatropha: the road map<br/>H M Behl<br/><br/>Raising large-scale jatropha plantation in India:present status and future prospects<br/>Padam Prakash Bhojvaid<br/><br/>Jatropha for wasteland development: TERI's<br/>mycorrhiza technology<br/>Alok Adholeya and Reena Singh<br/><br/>Recent trends in bio-diesel production<br/>A K Gupta<br/><br/>Quality considerations in Jatropha curcas<br/>Nutan Kaushik<br/><br/>Research issues in development of bio-diesel engines<br/>L M Das and venu Madhav<br/><br/>Long-run marginal-cost-based economic evaluation of bio-diesel production from jatropha<br/>Anandajit Goswami<br/><br/>Environmental impacts of bio-diesel<br/>Shubha Pandey and T S Panwar<br/><br/>Clean development mechanism potential of bio-diesel projects<br/>Vivek Kumar and Prabha Dhaval<br/><br/>SECTION 4: Biofuel experiences in the states of India<br/>Experiences of the Chhatisgarh Biofuel Development Authority<br/>S K Shukla<br/><br/>Jatropha for sustainable employment, energy security and for checking soil erosion<br/>A K Lohia<br/><br/>Biofuels: the Andhra Pradesh experience<br/>M Prasad<br/><br/>Directory of websites on biofuels<br/>
