Preface
In the recent years we have seen an increasing interest in many areas of research related to bioenergy. Bioenergy is renewable energy, and it is produced using biological sources such as, agricultural products and residues, forest products and residues, energy crops and other types of biological waste. The increasing interest in bioenergy has been motivated by its potential to become one of the future energy sources of USA. This in return is expected to reduce the nation’s dependency on fossil fuels, and to have a positive impact on the economy, environment and society. Investments in and use of bioenergy have been encouraged by a number of legislations at the federal and state levels. For example, the Renewable Fuel Standard in the Energy Independence and Secu
