Method for producing renewable fuels

A process for producing a fuel having renewable content comprising:

• (a) obtaining at a fuel production facility renewable hydrogen produced from a combustible fluid feedstock, said combustible fluid feedstock comprising one of (i) methane derived from renewable biomass comprising cellulose, (ii) methane that qualifies as renewable, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii);
• (b) combining renewable hydrogen from step (a) with a crude oil derived liquid hydrocarbon in a reactor under conditions to hydrogenate the liquid hydrocarbon such that the renewable hydrogen is incorporated into the hydrocarbon and ultimately is part of the fuel, wherein a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of the renewable content of the fuel is at least 20% lower than 98 kg CO2e/mmBTU;
• and
• (c) generating or causing generation of a fuel credit.

A process for producing a fuel having renewable content comprising:

• (a) obtaining at a fuel production facility combustible fluid feedstock, said combustible fluid feedstock derived from one of (i) biogas derived from waste organic material, (ii) methane that qualifies as renewable, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii);
• (b) processing the combustible fluid feedstock to produce renewable hydrogen;
• (c) combining renewable hydrogen with a crude oil derived liquid hydrocarbon in a reactor under conditions to hydrogenate the liquid hydrocarbon and incorporate the renewable hydrogen to produce a hydrogenated liquid hydrocarbon, wherein said fuel comprises the hydrogenated liquid hydrocarbon or a hydrocarbon derived from the hydrogenated liquid hydrocarbon, and wherein a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of the renewable content of the fuel is at least 20% lower than 98 kg CO2e/mmBTU;
• and
• (d) generating or causing generation of a fuel credit.
