If you hang out with chemists very often, you’re bound to hear one of their favorite witty wisecracks about lignin at some point: “You can make absolutely anything out of lignin … except money.” This full of potential yet still scorned complex polymer, lignin, is nature’s glue filling up spaces in plant cell walls, helping [...]
Biomass is an environmentally clean alternative for producing fuels, chemicals, and bioproducts. Why then do we hear about cleaning or even washing biomass on occasion? Last week, I helped my wife preserve some of the bounty of our garden by canning bushels of tomatoes. There is nothing like fresh vegetables out of the garden. When I [...]
Short rotation woody crops are woody tree species that have been bred and selected to have extremely high rates of growth, allowing them to be harvested after a short growing period.

Equipment shutdowns prevent companies from meeting the needs of their customers and [...]
When we hear the word agriculture, the first thought that pops into your mind is usually a local farmer.
