Oak Ridge team reveals surface structure of lignin; highly folded surface impedes enzymatic hydrolysis

Green Car Congress

Lignin clumps can inhibit the conversion of biofuel feedstocks into ethanol, a renewable substitute for gasoline. An improved understanding of the lignin aggregates will aid scientists in efforts to design a more effective pretreatment process, which in turn could lower the cost of biofuels. —Jeremy Smith.
