Title :

From Biomass to Biofuels

Description :

Woodchips, grasses, cornstalks, and other cellulosic biomass are widely abundant but more difficult to break down into sugars than corn grain—the primary source of U.S. fuel ethanol production today. Biological research is key to accelerating the deconstruction of cellulosic biomass into sugars that can be converted to biofuels.
