“…Compared to catalytic pyrolysis, non-catalytic pyrolysis has received attention because of its simplicity and speed [180], requiring no hydrogen and being able to perform under atmospheric pressure [132]. It also allows flexible usage of various renewable sources of low water content, as opposed to refined oil for catalytic pyrolysis [181,182]. In fact, catalytic pyrolysis uses expensive catalysts applying strict acceptance limits and quality standards to feedstock in order to avoid catalyst deactivation [174].…”

“…The amount of hydrocarbons a microorganism can produce is usually 0.005-3 % of its dry weight [7,8]. The hydrocarbons are generally short-chain, semi-volatile organic compounds, medium-chain hydrocarbons, usually in liquid form, and long-chain hydrocarbons, being the waxy fractions [9].…”

Microorganisms are able to biosynthesize hydrocarbons (HCs), thus, they could become a new matrix for fuels and chemicals. In this work, Tetradesmus obliquus cultivated for 15 days in 12‐m3 photobioreactors produced dry biomass for hot oil extraction by rotary evaporation. Pure hexane and a mixture of hexane and ethanol solvents produced crude oil, followed by fractional distillation to yield non‐esterifiables. Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry characterized the products obtained with hexane extraction as HCs from C11 to C22, and with hexane + ethanol from C13 to C23, predominantly alkanes that led to a high cetane number. The green diesel lower heating value was nearly the same as that of low sulfur fossil diesel, however, economic and logistic aspects need to be addressed aiming at fossil diesel replacement.
