Alkane production from biomass: chemo-, bio- and integrated catalytic approaches

- Renewable alkanes for fuels, chemicals and materials: a perspective.
- Chemo- and biocatalytic tool box to convert biomass into alkanes.
- Focus on the mild and selective chemocatalytic approach.
- A plot, inspired by van Krevelen, gives similarities between biomass and alkanes.
- The next step: improve current technology and multidisciplinary collaboration.
