Chemical researchers invent bio-petroleum for sustainable materials

Researchers have developed a chemical technology of combined fermentation and chemical refining that can produce petroleum-like liquids from renewable plants. These renewable liquids could serve as a more sustainable replacement for today's fossil fuels used to make everyday products like plastic containers and bags, automobile parts, lubricants, and soaps.
