A book on alternative energy for bhaarata by TERI

BIOFUELS: towards a greener and secure energy future

Coupled with increasing oil prices, increasing awareness of the global
impacts of greenhouse gases has led to concerns over the continued
consumption of fossil fuels worldwide.

           Consequently, many developed and developing countries have
considered the possibility of large-scale production and use of biofuels,
such as bio-ethanol and bio-diesel, as alternatives to hydrocarbon fuels.

TERI, with its experience in the biofuels sector has come out with a new
title on this subject.Perhaps you would also know that last week, TERI
also embarked on a $9.4 million project along with British Petroleum for
mass production of bio-fuel. It was as a part of this announcement event
that TERI Press also released a new book- Biofuels: towards a greener and
secure energy future


The title provides an assessment of current practices and knowledge on the
production, conversion, and use of biofuels, and is the result of
experiences provided by a diverse group of distinguished persons who have
been dealing with this subject for some time now. The book is intended to
be a ready reckoner for individuals, farmers, policy-makers, researchers,
automobile manufacturers, as well as agencies and institutions interested
in taking forward the energy security agenda in general and the promotion
of biofuels in particular.

Edited by Dr P P Bhojvaid, Senior Fellow with TERI, the book covers the
following main areas

 Policy issues in biofuels
 Bio-ethanol production- Indian and international experience
 Bio-diesel from Jatropha
 Bio-fuel experience in the states of India

Keeping in mind your interest, I am sure you will find this title useful.
