4. Conclusions on Pretreatment Options from Scientific Journal “So far, there is no commercially feasible solution to efficient pretreatment of softwood materials for the production of biofuels and biobased products” (Ahring et al., 1999; Chang et al., 2001; Reith et al., 2002). “Breakthroughs in pretreatment are still needed for both scientific and economic reasons” (Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Vol. 99. No. 6, April 15, 2008, Wiley Periodicals)‏

5. U.S. Department of Energy Finds: “ The chemical industry is built largely on the use of uniform and consistent raw materials. It is unlikely that this will change, so technologies will need to be developed to precondition lignin to make its properties and reactivity patterns more stable, consistent, and uniform. One concept that may be of value is to separate lignin used for production of chemicals from the biomass early in bio-refinery operations, using mild methods to conserve the structure.” Pacific Northwest Nation Laboratory (PNNL) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)‏
