Life Cycle Analysis of Bio-Based Fuels, Energy, and Chemicals II


Description:
Emphasis on cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments of existing or conceptual processes for producing value-added chemicals, biochemicals, and other materials from renewable agricultural residues, plant-derived starches and oils (lipids), lignocellulosic biomass, or plant-based industrial processing wastes.
