Abstract
A novel engineered Ni-Cu/Al2O3 decarboxylation/decarbonylation catalyst achieved quantitative conversion of brown grease, excellent yield of diesel-like hydrocarbons, effective heteroatom removal, and remarkable resistance to deactivation for hundreds of hours on stream. This offers an industrial alternative to hydrotreating for transforming waste oleaginous feedstocks into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
