ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for providing fuels from biomass such as seed oils or plant fruits. Generally the process utilizes a metal catalyzed conversion to step to provide fuel mixtures with compositions that may be varied depending on conditions of temperature, pressure and time of reaction. Mixtures of hydrocarbons produced from limonene feedstocks include alicyclic, alkyl and aromatic species. Monocyclic aromatic compounds may be obtained in high yields depending on the reaction conditions employed.
