waste plant matter to replace oil as a fuel source

[aditya khanduri]

a little bit of imp news regarding bio sciences will nt do harm i
suppose.....
stumbled upon this blog.... cudnt undrstnd ny techiqalities bt still
seems to be pathbraking..

KEY POINTS-
-discovery which could finally unlock the full potential of waste
plant matter to replace oil as a fuel source
-method to overcome the chemical intractability of cellulose, thus
allowing it to be converted efficiently into bioethanol
-major breakthrough as cellulose is the world's most abundant
biopolymer. Global generation of cellulose is equivalent in energy to
670 billion barrels of oil – some 20 times the current annual global
oil consumption!!!!
-holds the potential to displace petroleum-based sources, thus
reducing the associated economic and environmental costs of oil and
gas production
