Improved reaction data heat up the biofuels harvest

(National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) In a new paper, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have detailed some of the most fundamental processes involved in extracting sugars from biomass.

Their findings should help engineers to improve their process designs in order to extract the maximum amount of fuel from a given measure of biomass.
