Snow, when reading "sustainable" and "renewable" I lose interest. Those are flim flam words used when the subject doesn't have reason to justify itself. But cellulose has for decades seemed to a vastly underused byproduct of growing crops.

It has surprised me that ethanol and materials have not been economically developed to replace other sources of energy and strength. Iron for example takes a lot of effort to dig up and process into steel. Cellulose grows itself, can be cut down and looks like an ideal feed stock for materials such as polymerized carbon and fuels.

Brazil, with its huge ethanol from cane industry should be making ethanol from cellulose too [one would think].
