“…As feedstocks for third-generation biofuels, microalgae exhibit advantages of a high photosynthetic efficiency, a high lipid content, and cost-effectiveness. − Microalgal biodiesel has attracted immense interest because of its non-toxicity, biodegradability, and low pollution and emissions. , However, as the main components of biodiesel, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) exhibit a high oxygen content, a long molecular chain (≥C 16 ), and poor low-temperature mobility. , Therefore, it is crucial to conduct subsequent deoxygenation (DO) and cracking processes to form jet fuel (C 8 –C 16 ) with better combustion performance, which is suitable for the aviation industry. , …”
