@katierockiowa: 14. Ethanol is life. #iowa #water #iowanews

Retired chemist here - Ethanol made from cellulose was always a pipe dream. Lignans in cellulose don’t allow for the breakdown of cellulose in to shorter sugar chains that can then can be used for ethanol production. I always knew this wouldn’t work because it is cost prohibitive. We alway hear that 10-20 more years of research will get us a breakthrough, but chemistry never changes.
