Embodiment Construction

[0025]The present invention relates to a fuel composition and method thereof. The fuel composition can be used in various applications. In particular, the fuel composition can be employed as a cold weather fuel for use in ground transportation vehicles, such as trucks, automobiles, railroads, and the like, and as an aviation fuel for use in aircrafts, such as airplanes, helicopters, and the like. Further, the fuel composition of the present invention can be prepared based on biodiesel. For example, biodiesel can be produced and converted to a fuel composition that is suitable for use as cold weather ground transportation and aviation fuel. Biodiesel is derived from plant oils, algae oils, and animal fats, and therefore, the present invention provides a fuel composition which is grown and produced using standard agricultural and chemical processing methods. The biodiesel can be converted to a fuel composition including an alkane or a mixture of alkanes.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fuel composition and method for the preparation thereof. The fuel composition is particularly useful as an aviation fuel and as a ground transportation fuel in cold weather environments. The fuel composition includes oil derived from a biological source such as vegetable oil and / or animal fat. Further, the fuel composition can be based on biodiesel. Moreover, the fuel composition of the present invention includes a reduced amount of oxygen as compared to the biodiesel or substantially no oxygen.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 227,583, filed Jul. 22, 2009, and entitled “Conversion and Purification of Biodiesel to Aviation Fuel.”FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a fuel composition and a method of producing the fuel composition. In particular, the fuel composition can be useful in cold temperature environments and as aviation fuel.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Global climate change is causing a shift in the sources of energy from fossil fuels to more sustainable and renewable resources, such as biodiesel. For ground transportation, there is a significant development effort to use electricity from non-fossil primary fuel to power cars, trucks and rail systems. However, in cold climates, such as in temperate or polar regions of the world (including a significant portion of the United States, Canada, northern Europe and northern Asia), biodiesel fuels ...
