Why is it important?
Its technology, of vacuum pyrolysis allows to produce carbide (benzene) using Carbon containing material of any kind of samples, especially ones containing low amount of Carbon. It utilize almost all datable Carbon of sample material.
Perspectives
It is perspective for most kind sample material.
