The present project aims to develop a sustainable technological platform for microbial production of drop-in biofuel (alkanes) using renewable lignocellulosic biomass residues. Bio-based fuel production provides a distinctive platform for the economic production of energy rich drop-in fuel/fuel feedstocks. The major biofuel feedstock demand for the commercial production of drop-in fuel is currently mainly met by vegetable oil due to its easier availability. However, it is not a viable option due to its interference with the food supply chain. The present proposal is intended to develop a robust and economic technological platform to utilize lignocellulosic feedstock, such as wood chips and forest residues, for production of biofuel. Genetically modified oleaginous yeast will be used as a microbial catalyst to produce alkane-based drop-in biofuel. The proposed work will augment the Canadian research in the production of sustainable bioenergy using renewable sources field and will train HQP with skills and expertise relevant to the Canadian academic and growing biotechnological industrial sectors.

目前的项目旨在开发一个可持续的技术平台，用于微生物生产使用可再生木质纤维素生物质残留物的生物燃料（烷烃）。生物基燃料生产为经济生产富含能源的一次性燃料/燃料原料提供了一个独特的平台。由于植物油更容易获得，目前商业生产drop-in燃料的主要生物燃料原料需求主要由植物油满足。然而，由于它对食品供应链的干扰，这不是一个可行的选择。目前的提案旨在开发一个强大而经济的技术平台，利用木质纤维素原料，如木屑和森林残留物，生产生物燃料。转基因产油酵母将被用作微生物催化剂，用于生产烷烃类生物燃料。拟议的工作将加强加拿大在利用可再生能源生产可持续生物能源领域的研究，并将为HQP提供与加拿大学术和不断发展的生物技术工业部门相关的技能和专门知识。
