Biorefining of Biomass to Biofuels : Opportunities and Perception This volume focuses on the prospects of the conversion of biomass into biofuels including ethanol butanol biogas biohydrogen biodiesel syn gas and other useful products. Biomass derived fuels have gained tremendous attention worldwide. However due to high raw material and processing costs biofuels produced from lignocelluloses have been found to be more expensive than conventional fuels. Therefore a concept of biorefining has been introduced where more than one product or each and every component of biomass may be derived into useful products in a manner of petroleum refinery.
