Recent economic trends, especially the worldwide decline in oil
prices, and an altered political climate in the United States have
combined to bring about major reductions in research on renewable
energy resources. Yet there is no escaping the "facts of life" with
regard to these resources. The days of inexpensive fossil energy
are clearly numbered, the credibility of nuclear energy has fallen
to a new low, and fusion energy stands decades or more from
practical realization. Sooner than we may wish, we will have to
turn to renewable raw materials - plant "biomass" and, especially,
wood - as significant suppliers of energy for both industry and
everyday needs. It is therefore especially important to have a
single, comprehensive and current source of information on a key
step in any process for the technological exploitation of woody
materials, cellulose hydrolysis. Further more, it is essential that
any such treatment be unbiased with respect to the two methods -
chemical and biochemical - for the breakdown of cellulose to
sugars. Researchers on cellulose hydrolysis have frequently been
chided by persons from industry, especially those individuals
concerned with determining the economic feasibility of various
technological alternatives. They tell us that schemes for the
utilization of wood and other such resources fly in the face of
economic realities."
