• Tapping into the enormous value of petrochemicals Robert Greene, from DOE's Office of Basic Energy and specialty chemicals is a place where chemistry Sciences, asked what a more ideal biomass would look like, can play a huge role in realizing value from biomass and Hitz responded that in his opinion, the biggest improve- conversion, particularly since these are high value ments today would be on the transportation side, that is, added products that would use very little of the availmaking bigger bales of material rather than in increasing able biomass.
