Petrochemical‐free commodities: Recent developments in the biosynthetic production of different hydrocarbons by engineered microorganisms offer further examples of how white biotechnology can provide chemicals and biofuels in a sustainable manner by coupling natural cycles or de novo‐designed metabolic routes with industrial interests. Non‐edible and cheap lignocellulosic residues are a renewable feedstock to secure the sustainability of the process.
