Supplying more than 80 percent of human energy consumption globally, fossil fuel combustion contributes to the rise of atmospheric greenhouse gases such as CO<sub>2<\/sub>, nitrous oxide, and methane, which are widely believed to cause detrimental climate change. We can mitigate these effects by using the many available no- or low-carbon methods to harvest energy, including wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and solar approaches, such as the harvesting of plant biomass that can be burned as solid or liquid fuels.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Conversion of biomass is currently the most cost-effective route to produce renewable liquid fuels, and contributes 78 percent of the total renewable energy worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8230; Full text: <a href=\"http:\/\/the-scientist.com\/2012\/07\/01\/growing-better-biofuel-crops\/\" >the-scientist.com\/2012\/07\/01\/growing-better-biofuel-crops\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tags: conversion of biomass, renewable liquid fuels, fermentation, bagasse, cellulosic stover, biofuel crops, acetylation<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Our current dependence on fossil fuels is on a collision course with the need of future generations for a habitable environment.
