Research Says Biomass Pretreatment Makes Biofuel Practical
February 29, 2024 | 1 Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A new University of California – Riverside (UCR) study found that introducing a simple, renewable chemical to the pretreatment step can finally make next-generation biofuel production both cost-effective and carbon neutral. The first step, breaking down the plant matter has always been the hardest when it comes to making fuel from plants. For biofuels […]
