Shape Resonance Spectra of Lignocellulose Components.

Replacing fossil fuels for biofuels from renewable sources is a viable way to reduce\ud greenhouse gas emissions. A major goal to optimize biofuel production would be the\ud development of high-yield methods to obtain fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic\ud biomass (leaves, straw, bagasse, etc). This is not an easy task since the biomass is a\ud composite material resistant to chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis.FAPESPCNPqFundação Araucári
