The estimated cost of producing hydrocarbon molecules from biomass is between $10 and $30 per barrel of hydrocarbon.

I am very glad to hear it. I wonder if the process is usable for all the biomass that we normally put in our landfills. I guess that the sorting of it might be too costly.

I am not asking secrets, I believe, when I ask if the process converts cellulose?

Have you been able to come up with any production figures, or is “biomass” so differentiated that production per pound of dry biomass is a nonsensical term?
