SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUELS

Abstract: embodiments herein relate to sustainable fuels and methods for making the same. in an embodiment, a process for producing a sustainable aviation fuel composition is included. the process can include mixing a lipid feedstock with at least one branched chain alcohol to form a reaction mixture. in some embodiments the process can include mixing a branched carboxylic acid with at least one branched chain alcohol to form a reaction mixture. in some embodiments, combinations of different carboxylic acids and/or alcohols can be used. the process can further include contacting the reaction mixture with a catalyst at greater than room temperature and pressure to form reaction products. the catalyst can include a metal oxide catalyst, such as at least one selected from the group consisting of alumina, titania, zirconia, and hafnia. other embodiments are also included herein.
