				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Since 2007, researchers at the BioEnergy Science Center, one of three  Department of Energy-funded research centers, have partnered to figure  out how to break down plants so that they easily release the simple  sugars that can be processed into biofuels. It's a breakthrough that  could make biofuels cost competitive with gasoline.

				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					The single most important barrier to the use of lignocellulosic biomass  such as switchgrass, populus, sorghum and miscanthus for production of  biofuels is the resistant nature of the biomass itself. The problem lies  in the conversion or degradation of complex biomass to make products of  interest.
