Abstract:
1. A process for producing hydrocarbons, said process comprising the steps wherein a feedstock comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of triglycerides, carboxylic acids having a carbon number C1-C38, esters of C1-C38 carboxylic acids with C1-C11 alcohols, C1-C38 alcohols, C1-C38 aldehydes, C1-C38 carboxylic acid anhydrides, and metal salts of C1-C38 carboxylic acids, esters of C1-C38 carboxylic acids with C12-C38 alcohols, natural waxes, dicarboxylic acids and polyols, is subjected to a ketonisation step carried out in the presence of metal oxide catalyst under a pressure from 0 to 10 MPa and at a temperature ranging from 100 to 500° C., and the ketonisation product is hydrodeoxygenated in the presence of a hydrodeoxygenation catalyst under a hydrogen pressure ranging from 0.1 to 20 MPa at a temperature ranging from 100 to 500° C., wherein said hydrodeoxygenation catalyst contains at least one component selected from the group consisting of metals of the Group VIII or Group VIA of the periodic system of the elements, and a support.
