Description
Summary:The variety of biofuels, which was put on the market in recent years, requires a great improvement of existing thermodynamic characterization methods and, eventually, the development of new ones. A deep understanding of the chemico-physical properties of biofuels will help to identify appropriate utilization areas, to improve the efficiency, to reduce the impact on climatic changes through greenhouse gas emission control, and to reduce the dependency on fossil energy.
