Bio-Ethanol from sweet sorghum. A review of the opportunity

In the recent years there is a growing worldwide interest in the use of biofuels as they can reduce the CO 2 emissions of fuels used in transportation, diversify energy procurement, contribute to a longterm replacement for oil and offer new earning opportunuties for the rural sector. This book by dr. Sirinuch Chindaruksa and dr. Michela Pin represents a humble, but effective and timely, contribution to assessing the role that biofuels can play. It is devoted to a careful discussion of sweet sorghum as a suitable (profitable, promising) raw material for bioethanol production, including the analysis of a small scale plant. Sirinuch Chindaruksa e Michela Pin in modo semplice, danno un contributo all'attualissimo e diffuso argomento dell'uso di biocarburanti nei mezzi di trasporto al fine di ridurre l'emissione di CO2. Nel libro è esposta un'argomentazione accurata sul sorgo zuccherino come materia prima idonea ed economicamente vantaggiosa nella produzione di bioetanolo.
