New publication discusses how to expand bioenergy from sugarcane in Latin America and Africa and helps to place Brazil in the timely international discussion about the prospects of renewable energy in the world

Sugarcane Bioenergy for Sustainable Development

Expanding Production in Latin America and Africa

Edited by Luis A. B. Cortez, Manoel Regis L. V. Leal and Luiz A. Horta Nogueira

Series: Routledge Studies in Bioenergy. October 2018: 234x156: 418pp: 183 illustrations

 

In recent years there has been a rapid expansion of the growing of crops for use in bioenergy production rather than for food. This has been particularly the case for sugarcane in Latin America and Africa. Sugarcane Bioenergy for Sustainable Development examines the further potential for this in the context of the food versus fuel debate, and as a strategy for sustainable development, with case studies of two countries, Colombia and Mozambique. The book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals in energy and agricultural development.
