some of those sugars are bonded together and stored creating starches, like the starch in a corn kernel, that can be used later for energy. these starches are easily broken down making them an attractive source for ethanol conversion. but some sugars are bonded differently, into long chains, like steel girders within plant cell walls. specif ically, there are three primary components of biomass -- cellulose, hemicellulose and the polymer lignin which fills the remaining spaces in the plant cell wall. plants evolved so that these materials would last a long time and be chemically difficult to break down, making the biomass conversion process challenging. nrel has created a pilot plant to test ways to improve the process of breaking down the cellulosic material and make the sugars available for fermentation. the first step in the process is pretreatment. aden: nature has really made these materials to be resistant to being broken down. so that's why we have to do some preprocessing to break apart the cellulose and the hemicellulose from the lignin. and that's what happens in the pretreatm
