نیشکر: تولید کشاورزی، بیوانرژی و اتانول

Sugarcane: Agricultural Production, Bioenergy and Ethanol explores this vital source for "green" biofuel from the breeding and care of the plant all the way through to its effective and efficient transformation into bioenergy. The book explores sugarcane's 40 year history as a fuel for cars, along with its impressive leaps in production and productivity that have created a robust global market. In addition, new prospects for the future are discussed as promising applications in agroenergy, whether for biofuels or bioelectricity, or for bagasse pellets as an alternative to firewood for home heating purposes are explored. Experts from around the world address these topics in this timely book as global warming continues to represent a major concern for both crop and green energy production. Read more...

Sugarcane: Agricultural Production, Bioenergy and Ethanol explores this vital source for "green" biofuel from the breeding and care of the plant through to the effective and efficient transformation into bioenergy. As global warming represents a major concern both for crop and green energy production, the role of the sugarcane production chain transcends national boundaries and offers tremendous potential for addressing these challenges."--Book cover Front Cover; Sugarcane; Copyright Page; Contents; List of Contributors; Foreword; Preface; 1 Agricultural Planning; Introduction; 1.1 Planning; 1.1.1 Planning for Planting; 1.1.2 Planning of Varieties; 1.1.3 Planning for Harvesting; 1.2 Final Remarks; Bibliography; 2 Physiology; Introduction; 2.1 Photosynthesis; 2.1.1 Absorption of Light Energy and Water Oxidation; 2.1.2 Photosynthetic Electron Flow and Oxidation of Water; 2.1.3 Photophosphorylation; 2.2 Carbon Metabolism; 2.2.1 CO2 Fixation and C4 System Sugarcane; 2.2.2 C3 Carbon Reactions (Calvin-Benson Cycle)
