| 发明名称 | Processing biomass | ||
| 摘要 | Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, to produce ethanol and/or butanol, e.g., by fermentation. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method comprising: saccharifying a lignocellulosic material that has been exposed to an electron beam at a dose rate of about 1 Mrad/s to about 10 Mrad/s to produce a sugar by contacting the lignocellulosic material with one or more one or more microorganisms and/or enzymes, and converting the sugar to a hydrocarbon by fermenting the sugar utilizing one or more thermophilic microorganism(s) wherein irradiating comprises applying to the material a total dose of between about 20 MRads and about 50 MRads. | ||
