- Summary:
- "Hydrocarbon biofuels are renewable fuels that are chemically similar to petroleum-based fuels that can be made from biomass sources like vegetable oils, wood, and animal fats. This primer, Hydrocarbon Biofuels, presents an overview of the production, chemistry, and properties of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel derived from biological resources in general and oleaginous biomass in the form of fats, oils, and greases in particular. The primer provides a summary of the information found in the literature regarding biofuels: their importance, potential, uses, and current methods of production. The three to four-hour read provides an excellent introduction to the topic and a gateway to relevant scientific literature that provides more in-depth information."-- Provided by publisher.
