Renewable Fuel Feedstock

Renewable fuel feedstock currently used to make hydrocarbon fuels includes plant-, animal-, and algae-based materials grown specifically for that purpose, or recycled materials such as cooking grease. 

These concentrated plant materials, combined with certain alcohols and crop oils, have chemical advantages over mineral crude oil. 

They can contain a higher level of combustible hydrogen and a lower level of undesirable sulfur, while their boiling point is similar to that of most hydrocarbon fuels and intermediate products. 

This makes them desirable for conversion into fuel products such as diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha, an intermediate product similar to gasoline and benzene, often used as a solvent or fuel
