This comprehensive book was inspired by the increased interest in production of biofuels and biohydrogen through the action of photosynthetic organisms; an area gaining rapid interest in the field of photosynthesis. The highly regarded editors bring together contributors from both academic institutions and private or public laboratories in order to provide in-depth coverage of the molecular machineries involved in the production of hydrogen and biofuels. Emphasis is given to second generation biofuels and biofuels produced from sustainable feedstock, while due attention is made to the impact on biodiversity and land use, and more in general to the protection of environment. These issues will be at the forefront of the European Society for Photobiology and the European Photochemistry Association's symposia during 2012-2013. This book will be an indispensible resource for advance students, researchers and professionals working across the field of photosynthesis as well as wider disciplines including photochemistry, photobiology and green chemistry.
