Work Item
ASTM WK92509
Revision of E3417-24a Standard Test Method for Determination of Cellulose/Hemicellulose-Derived Glucan and Galactan Content in Solid Corn Biomass Samples
Rationale
The EPA has not approved any new D3 RIN pathways for in-situ cellulosic ethanol production since 2017 and previous efforts within ASTM International to address this issue have proven unsuccessful. The industry would benefit greatly from an open-source analytical method that meets the stated work item objective. If successful, biofuel producers could use this method to create huge value for the sector.
