energy. In fact, studies show that fuel could be derived from
lignocellulosic biomass and sustainably grown in the United
States, replacing the dependence on our foreign petroleum-based
transportation fuels. Mother Nature, however, makes the breakdown
of these plants and the extraction of the necessary sugars a
challenge. More...
