In 2010, for example, Dr. Joseph McAuliffe from Genencor noted that: An intensive search has been underway for years for alternative sources of isoprene, in particular those from renewable resources such as biomass. One technical challenge has been the development of an efficient process for converting sugars into isoprene.

Mascoma will then convert the feedstock to cellulosic ethanol through its proprietary process, which produces lignin as a by-product. Chevron has filed applications for two patents on processes to convert lignin to a hydrocarbon feedstock via hydroprocessing; both applications were published on 3 September 2009. Earlier post.)
