Biodiesel a fuel substitute produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, or algae is one of the most important renewable natural resources for agrarian countries. The justification for developing biodiesel as an alternate fuel is manifold, and rising crude oil prices and the vulnerability of energy security have made biodiesel necessary and inevitable. The Practical Handbook on Biodiesel Production and Properties has assembled and analyzed the recent trends of biodiesel research, production, and implementation. It includes practical guidance on the identification of plant resources and their distribution, botanical description, palynology, oil extraction, production process, and biodiesel yield. The production and usage of biodiesel will strengthen the agricultural sector, provide energy to remote areas without access to conventional energy, contribute towards economic development, and increase industrial activity. Drawing on both scientific and participatory processes, this book enables the successful utilization and commercialization of biofuel technology.

The understanding of renewable energy and its significant impacts on economy has the potential to uplift the livelihood of people. However, technological implications cannot be avoided in the present scenario.This book explains overall profile of energy resources, principles of renewable energy technologies, along with a demonstration of applications. The authors describe and explain the background and present profile of energy generation with special reference to the preservation of biodiversity and natural resources by the following principles of sustainable growth and conservation of the atmosphere.This book on Renewable Energy Resources is written to serve as a text on energy for technologists, researchers, energy producers and of course for policy makers of developing and developed economies of the world. The authors have tried to make this edition a most comprehensive account pertaining to energy and the social and economic aspects of renewable energy and resources of energy.The authors describe the beginning of energy need and use along with the need of energy in prehistoric era. The mention of Industrial revolution in Europe and America has its own importance on the emergence of Science and technology dealing with mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity generation, locomotives and, of course quantum physics and atomic physics. First of all, the author describes the effect of the sun on the creation of wind and waves and on the atmosphere. It also includes the effects of global warming. It briefs the reader about the technical aspects of the devices used to convert energy from one form to the required form, whether it is from direct solar radiation to wind and biomass. The author explores new solar cell types, including new biofuel processes, polymer and organic cells and new wave energy devices.The subjects covered under the domain of energy and renewable energy sources are wind, water and sun. The energy produced by traditional as well as conventional technologies such as oil or mineral fuel is also referred to where needed.This book can be used as reference and for some stages as text book for students of energy and related fields The authors have given due attention to the history of each type of energy source. The Introduction of the book gives details of the origin of energy use with reference to the prehistoric society and ending at the most modern renewable energy sources and their technological implications.The authors have discussed Energy and related matters in greater details as follows:• Renewable Energy• Energy Conversion: Basic Principles• Wind Energy Conversion• Hydro-energy• Biomass Conversion Methods• Energy Conversion of Solar Energy• Impact of Renewable Energy on Atmosphere

This text focuses on underutilized wild plants that can help to reduce food deficiency in developing nations. Edible wild plants are viewed as a potential solution for overcoming food insecurity for families in these regions, with a specific focus on sustainable production and conservation measures. Detailed analysis of specific wild plants is provided, including the nutritional contents of each plant. A full list of edible wild plants is included for the benefit of researchers, plus a pictorial guide for easy identification of these plants. Specific case studies are provided in which edible wild plants are used to reduce food insecurity, and the diversity of edible wild plants is studied from a global perspective. In developing countries, a significant obstacle to human survival is the increasing gap between food availability and the growing human population. Food insecurity results in less consumption of fruits and vegetables and leads to mineral and vitamin deficiency for individuals in these regions. Edible Wild plants: An alternative approach to food security focuses on growing and using wild plants in order to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition. Wild edible plants are inexpensive and are a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and minerals. As the first book to specifically focus on edible wild plants and their vital role in food security and nutrition, this text is incredibly valuable to any researcher studying innovative potential solutions to food deficiency in the developing world.
