This is driving the uptake of renewable resources and the adoption of renewables. Renewables' can either be the substituted raw materials that are used in a given industry, ([url] the use of biomass for fuel); the use and/or modification of a crop for use in a new industry ([url] plant cellulose), or the reuse of a waste product ([url] organic waste for energy production). This is the first book in the Wiley Renewable Resources series that brings together the range.
