Abstract

Methods for deriving a low-C hydrocarbon fuel from a high-C hydrocarbon fuel are generally provided. A catalytic material (e.g., an aluminosilicate and/or a zeolite) can be introduced to the high-C hydrocarbon fuel to produce a product stream comprising a low-C hydrocarbon fuel, and the low-C hydrocarbon fuel can be separated in the product stream from any remaining high-C hydrocarbon fuel.
