Resins from Grindelia: a model for renewable resources in arid environments

  • Chapter

Abstract

As the availability of abundant, inexpensive petroleum fuels and industrial feedstocks lessens, it is important that consideration be given to renewable sources of organic compounds and fuels as alternatives to non-renewable petroleum-based substances. The actual use of bioenergy has been increasing steadily in recent years indicating that biomass may be destined to become a major source of energy in the world.
