I think you have to cook cellulose with acid . . . well, there seem to be other processes. Compared to the proven technology of nuclear reactors, however, the ethanol-from-cellulose thing seems rather fanciful and impractical, to put it in a restrained way. i-sis.org.uk hort.purdue.edu More promising, maybe: Laboratory (NREL), created genetically modified organisms that produce large amounts of cellulase enzymes that digest cellulose efficiently. The breakthrough has reduced the cost of cellulose-digesting enzymes to 10–18 cents per gallon (gal) of ethanol. This is a dramatic drop from the enzymes’ $5 per gal cost in 2001; that price made them the most expensive component needed to produce ethanol from cellulosic biomass. The cheaper price tag should bring down the total cost of cellulosic ethanol to about $1.50 per gal, more competitive with the cost of about $1 per gal for corn-kernel-based ethanol, according to Joel Cherry, Novozymes’s project leader. pubs.acs.org More technical and quite pessimistic: energybulletin.net
