Abstract
In an aspect, the application discloses a method for producing renewable hydrocarbon fuels where the method includes electrolysis of a mixture to produce an electrolysis product comprising a renewable diesel and optionally a renewable gasoline, where the mixture includes (i) free fatty acids from a biorenewable feedstock, and (ii) terminal monomethyl-branched carboxylic acids, and where the renewable diesel includes terminal monomethyl-branched paraffins and terminal monomethyl-branched alkenes.
Claims20
A method for producing renewable hydrocarbon fuels, the method comprising
- electrolysis of a mixture comprising (i) free fatty acids from a biorenewable feedstock, and (ii) terminal monomethyl-branched carboxylic acids, to produce an electrolysis product comprising a renewable diesel and optionally a renewable gasoline;
- wherein the renewable diesel comprises terminal monomethyl-branched paraffins and terminal monomethyl-branched alkenes.
A renewable diesel comprising
- terminal monomethyl-branched isoparaffins;
- and
- terminal monomethyl-branched alkenes where each internal carbon-carbon double bond is cis.
A renewable gasoline comprising 2,3-dimethylbutane.
