Aspects of the invention relate to producing olefins by oxidative dehydrogenation cocracking of a hydrocarbon feed. In one embodiment, the method includes oxidative cocracking a hydrocarbon feed comprised of at least one alkane having a carbon chain of five or more and at least one alkane having a carbon chain of four or less by contacting the hydrocarbon feed with a metal oxide, such that the cracking of the at least one alkane having a carbon chain of four or less produces olefins and is exothermic, and the cracking of the at least one alkane having a carbon chain of five or more produces olefins and is endothermic. The method further includes utilizing the energy produced from the exothermic cracking of the alkane having a carbon chain of four or less for the endothermic cracking of the alkane having a carbon chain of five or more, and collecting the product.
A method of producing one or more olefins by oxidative dehydrogenation cocracking of a hydrocarbon feed, the method comprising:
(canceled)
