After addressing the basic knowledge of bioenergy and its development in the United States, the European Union, and Brazil, this book places emphasis on the introduction of China's bioresources, its development since 2001, and the difficulties it encountered. In the concluding chapter, Shi presents his ideas about a 'Green Civilization.' This book analyzes bioenergy from a natural science perspective, but is also accessible to the social scientist interested in sustainable development.
