Patent ID: 7960598

Claim:
A. method comprising the steps of: a) transesterifying a first portion of triglycerides to yield monoesters; b) steam-reforming a second portion of triglycerides to yield bio-derived H 2 ; c) hydroprocessing at least a portion of the monoesters produced in. step (a) with H 2 in a hydroprocessing reactor to yield one or more hydrocarbon products of a first type, wherein a portion of the H 2 so utilized is provided by at least a portion of the bio-derived H 2 produced in step (b); d) pyrolyzing non-triglyceride biomass to yield a pyrolysis oil; and e) hydroprocessing at least a portion of the pyrolysis oil in a hydroprocessing reactor with H 2 to yield one or more hydrocarbon products of a second type, wherein at least a portion of the H 2 utilized in the hydroprocessing is provided by at least a portion of the bio-derived H 2 produced in step (b).
