Claim:
1. A process for producing hydrocarbons, wherein starting material comprising tall oil material and polar co-feed, which polar co-feed comprises at least 75 wt. % of C12-C22 fatty acids, is diluted with a non-polar diluent to obtain feedstock, the feedstock is hydroprocessed by a catalyst system comprising a combination of a HDO catalyst and HDW catalyst, at a temperature of 270-450° C. and under the pressure of 10-250 bar to obtain a hydroprocessing product, at least one hydrocarbon fraction boiling in the liquid fuel range is separated from the hydroprocessing product, and the non-polar diluent comprises the hydroprocessing product or hydrocarbon fraction or a hydrocarbon blend or a combination thereof.
