This proposal outlines a collaborative project between the groups of Dr Alex Brogan (King's College London) and Dr Leticia Zanphorlin (Brazilian Biorenewables National Laboratory) that seeks to develop an innovative new approach to the production of advanced biofuels. This work will leverage the expertise of both groups to overcome the key hurdles in the production of biofuels by improvin…
Building a bio-based economy is one of the main challenges of society in the 21st century, in order to mitigate climate change and diminish our dependence on fossil resources for the production of energy, materials and chemicals. Among the many proposed approaches, technologies based on the biological conversion of residues from agricultural and industrial resources are a promising soluti…
The decline in fossil resources along with massive energy consumption have led to an increasing global warming crisis. Climate change has generated a huge debate and serious concerns regarding the continued dependence on fossil fuels and petrochemicals. Hydrocarbon-based biofuels can be a suitable replacement for fossil-based ones, while hydrocarbons also feature prominently as chemical b…
Researchers around the world driven by real environmental concerns due to increases in atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperatures have been making efforts to create advanced platforms for the production of renewable and sustainable biofuels. Drop-in biofuels consist of biohydrocarbons (or renewable hydrocarbons), formed by medium and long chains of alkenes/alkanes, which have chemical…

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is vital for all organisms, acting as a coenzyme in various metabolic reactions. While plants and microorganisms produce it naturally, animals and humans need to obtain it from dietary sources. Vitamin B6 deficiency can affect several human physiological systems. The demand for vitamin B has increased, but it is currently synthesized chemically, using expensive and…
Metalloenzymes, especially those with redox function, play a crucial role in nature, and the last decade has witnessed the discovery of oxidative enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of hydrocarbons from fatty acids, employing non-canonical mechanisms that lead to the cleavage of the C-C bond in route. There is substantial diversity in the structure, mode of action, cofactor requirement…

The disadvantages of high dependence on fossil sources for energy generation and for obtaining various products have been the subject of global discussions with a focus on the transition to sustainable development models. The global agenda for sustainability encompasses action in all sectors of the economy with the aim of adopting renewable alternatives to replace or complement fossil raw…
Terminal alkenes are important compounds in the chemical industry and can be used in the production of polyethylene, detergents, surfactants and lubricants. Currently, these products are mostly produced from petroleum. However, considering the economic and environmental conflicts created by this resource, it is necessary to search for an alternative and renewable route for the production …
Terminal alkenes (or olefins) constitute an industrially important chemical platform for producing polymers, fertilizers, lubricants, surfactants, and especially drop-in biofuels, as they are molecules functionally similar to those of fossil origin. Currently, alkenes are produced through chemical conversion, that is, cracking under high temperature and pressure conditions, using petroleu…

Building a bio-based economy is essential for tackling climate change and reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. One promising approach is converting agricultural and industrial residues into valuable products using biotechnology, which offers more sustainable and cleaner production processes. In this regard, the research groups of Dr. Zanphorlin from LNBR/CNPEM and Dr. Hollmann from TU D…
Since the industrial era, a large number of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere have been a concerning reality because of fossil fuels usage, the most used energy source worldwide. The development of renewable energy technologies from different sources is growing, meanwhile, they are part of the solution to reduce GHG emissions. Production of advanced biofuels, also called …
In recent years, the need for developing sustainable chemicals as alternatives for replacing petroleum products has grown, due to rising concerns around environmental issues and sustainability. Thus, the microbial production of biochemicals emerges as one potential alternative route, as it has the advantage of converting agricultural waste and renewable sources into molecules of great add…
Vitamin B6 is a fundamental nutrient involved in more bodily processes than any other vitamin. However, although vitamin B6 is essential, humans cannot synthesize it, so this micronutrient must be obtained from foods or isolated supplements. Currently, vitaminB6 may be produced by technological routes through chemical or fermentative processes. Chemical synthesis employs expensive and/or …
