Intensification of Photobiocatalytic Decarboxylation of Fatty Acids for the Production of Biodiesel

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.
