If electronation of the transport molecule by tunneling at a distance can be achieved at the donor surface, then it avoids the Casimir force altogether there. There is no appreciable Casimir force at the donor surface, and no heat is lost to the departing transport molecule other than the energy to supply the tunneled electron. The transporter molecule still arrives fat at the acceptor but leaves small, thus gaining net Casimir force energy, plus the differential electron affinity attraction. The net effect is excess free electrical and thermal energy due to the Casimir force asymmetry.
