Abstract

A process for producing a diesel fuel of biological origin. The process includes a biological component to be trans-esterified into a fatty acid alkyl ester. A fraction of the fatty acid alkyl ester is hydrodeoxygenated and hydroisomerized to produce an iso-paraffinic hydrocarbon. The fatty acid alkyl ester and the iso-paraffin components are combined into a middle distillate product suitable for direct use as diesel or jet fuel.
