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.)

One technical challenge has been the development of an efficient process for converting sugars into isoprene. Natural rubber is the precipitated polymer chain product (~10 6 Da) obtained from the latex of rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) as an important material for automobile tires.

Source: PRO-BIP 2009. Many old processes have been revisited, such as the chemical dehydration of ethanol which leads to ethylene, an important intermediate chemical which can be subsequently converted into polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other plastics. —PRO-BIP 2009. —PRO-BIP 2009.
