What is it about?

the novel research of new sustainable fuels implies the application of biomasses for the achievement of simple sugars to be addressed towards fermentation and production of "green" bio-ethanol. This paper shows the application of phosphoric acid as a useful solvent for the dissolution of cellulose fibers as a pre-treatment for bio-ethanol production

Why is it important?

this is the first step to understand how bio-fuels can be produced from biomasses by using safe solvents
