Methods for lake sediment sample preparation for cellulose carbon and oxygen isotope analyses have been developed at the University ofWaterloo - Environmental Isotope Laboratory (UW-EIL), (Heemskerk Diebolt, 1994 Edwards et al, 1997 Elgood et al., 1997).

In the period until 1994, it became clear that his interest was increasingly directed toward academic research. In 1994, this resulted in a PhD degree from the Eindhoven University of Technology under the supervision of Prof A. L. German (Eindhoven) and Prof K. F. O Driscoll (University ofWaterloo, Canada). 

The University ofWaterloo continued the development in greater detail and showed from an economic evaluation that the process is an interesting alternative for the conventional production of ethanol. " In 1999, they compared the cost of producing ethanol from ceUulosic biomass via the hybrid thermochemical biorefinery approach, to acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis technologies. The results indicate that the production cost of ethanol via the fast pyrolysis-based concept is competitive with the production cost via the conventional approaches.
