The nextwave of changes, as the world economic engine integrates renewable energy technologies such as solar technologies or biofuels, perhaps constitutes a greater challenge since predictably these technologies will be at least transiently less efficient than the conventional energies of today based on fossil and nuclear fuels. Understanding these challenges that lie ahead is an important task to perform in order to design winning industrial strategies for the future. Chapter 1 and 2 discuss about the basics of biofuel andThe Global Demand for Biofuels: Technologies, Markets and Policies.

Chapter 4 depicts about the biomass and biofuels. Chapter 5, 6, 7 and 8 covers the use of bioethanol, hydrogen, methane and methonal. Chapter 9 describes the use of Ethanol and Methonal as fuel. Chapter 10 is based on the Energy systems, their storage and transmission. Chapter 11 depicts the Institutional and economic factors from renewable.
