The present disclosure relates to a process for the hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils or animal fats to produce green diesel, which comprises contacting the vegetable oil or animal fat with a Nickel-Molybdenum or Cobalt-Molybdenum catalyst supported on alumina-titania or titania, respectively; in a fixed bed reactor in the presence of hydrogen. The process involves hydrocracking, hydrogenation, decarboxylation, decarbonylation, carried out in a fixed bed reactor at temperature of about 270&#xb0; C. to about 360&#xb0; C., pressure of about 40 kg/cmto about 60 kg/cm, liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) between about 0.8 hto about 3.0 h, and H/oil ratio of about 2,700 ft/bbl to about 7,000 ft/bbl, that allows to obtain a conversion up to 99% and up to 92.7% yield on green diesel.
