Fuels from biomass—energy outlay versus energy returns: A critical appraisal

Christopher W. Lewis

Energy, 1977, vol. 2, issue 3, 241-248

Abstract: The concept of fuel production by the microbial conversion of biomass is discussed with particular emphasis upon the energy implications involved. Both the energy requirements and energy returns for a number of selected systems are assessed in the light of current technology, while areas for future improvements are also mentioned.
