Abstract
A method for making an alkyl cyclobutane fuel, which includes obtaining a solution of at least one alpha olefin. A catalyst is added to the solution, thereby generating a mixture of dimers. The mixture is hydrogenated, thereby converting the dimers to hydrogenated dimers. The mixture is purified to produce an alkyl cyclobutane fuel.
