"This interdisciplinary book focuses on the use of agricultural land ... on ecological, economic and societal impacts of these uses thus opening new trends in Sustainable Bioenergy Production. ... Each contribution and the book as a whole give to the reader the strong feeling of an excellent scientific text ... . this book is a very nice example to be followed for other scientific topics which aim to improve the quality of human life communities, in harmony with Planet Earth." (Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 6 (1-2), 2015) "Editors/geoscientists Ruppert, Kappas, and Ibendorf (all, Univ. of G ttingen, Germany) have collaborated on a 14-chapter, seven-part volume exploring an integrated approach to bioenergy assessment. ... the volume's greater coverage of social issues and integration across sustainability dimensions will be welcome. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Only comprehensive collections on energy resources, graduate students and above." (B. D. Solomon, Choice, Vol. 51 (7), March, 2014)

• Part I: Setting the scene.- Part II: Do we have enough? - Biomass potentials for energy generation.- Part III: Can bioenergy production be environmentally sound?.- Part IV: Economic optimisation of bioenergy production.- Part V: Bridging bioenergy production and society.- Part VI: Combustion of biomass for heat and power.- Part VII:  Bioenergy from polluted soils.- Index.
