Energy crops: a new challenge for tropical regions
Journal Article
·
· Renewable Energy Review Journal; ()
OSTI ID:6082579
Fuel production from plants on the basis of information drawn from the literature and from case studies conducted in Brazil is reviewed. Special reference is made to the production of charcoal, alcohol, and vegetable oils to replace gasoline and diesel fuel for internal-combustion engines. The potentialities and socio-economic implications of projects based on some efficient energy crops such as sugar cane, cassava, eucalyptus and oil palm are discussed. Attention is called to some plants which are considered promising sources of oil and hydrocarbons but have not yet been fully investigated from the agronomical and/or industrial point of view. 15 references.
