Starches and cellulose can be broken down by acid hydrolysis or enzyme
hydrolysis.

Marc,
Could you give some clarification as to theoretical yields of ethanol,
methanol and other value added byproducts per metric ton of paper
feedstock in the scenario you mention below, as well as energy inputs?
One could use yield data from virgin pulpwood as baseline and venture
forward.

In translating and collating what I have in my library about hydrolyzing
wood cellulose to get fermentable sugars, it occurred to me that there
is a much better source of cellulose than wood, and that using it would
allow two birds to be killed with one stone.
I refer of course to waste paper.
