Abstract Biological and chemocatalytic processes are tailored in order to maximize the production of sustainable biodiesel from lignocellulosic sugar. Thus, combination hydrotalcite‐supported copper(II) palladium(0) catalysts with a modification fermentation acetone–butanol–ethanol isopropanol–butanol–ethanol predictably produces higher concentrations diesel‐range components alkylation reaction.
