Production Of Renewable Bio-Distillate

A process for producing a renewable distillate, said process comprising:

• (a) separating a bio-oil into at least a bio-distillate fraction, wherein at least about 75 weight percent of said bio-distillate fraction has a boiling point between about 180° C. and about 380° C., wherein said bio-oil has not previously been subjected to an oxygen-removing hydrotreatment step;
• and
• (b) combining at least a portion of said bio-distillate fraction with a petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream, and a stabilizing additive having surfactant properties, to thereby produce a renewable distillate having a single clear phase, wherein said renewable distillate comprises said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream in an amount of between about 5 weight percent and about 99 weight percent, said bio-distillate fraction in an amount of at least about 0.5 weight percent, and said stabilizing additive in an amount between about 0.5 and about 25 weight percent.
