Opis

There is a growing interest in using energy crops as depositories for organic byproducts such as biosolids that at one time were landfilled or dumped into the sea. Energy crops are used as fuel and therefore prevent any unwanted constitiuents from organic by-products entering the food chain. This book looks at aspects of the new technologies being developed to achieve this, and also the risks associated with the practice of applying organic by-products to energy crops.
