Abstract
Light‐driven biocatalytic processes are notoriously hampered by poor penetration of light into the turbid reaction media. In this study, wirelessly powered light‐emitting diodes are found to represent an efficient and scalable approach for process intensification of the photobiosynthetic production of diesel alkanes from renewable fatty acids.
Highlights
fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), exhibit some intrinsic disadvantages, which limit their application as drop-in-substitute for established fossil diesel
Due to their chemical nature as esters, the caloric value of FAMEs is significantly lower compared to fossil diesel.[2]. Another drawback of FAMEs lies in their production by transesterification of natural fats and oils
Baseor acid-catalyzed transesterification with methanol is an equilibrium reaction and necessitates considerable molar surpluses of methanol to shift the equilibrium in the desired direction
