Abstract
In some examples, a method of generating a fuel blend includes flowing a lipid feedstock into a reaction vessel comprising a metal oxide catalyst on an oxide support. The metal oxide catalyst in the reaction vessel is used to catalytically convert the lipid feedstock into a mixture comprising an intermediate composition having at least 70% of its oxygen within ketone groups. Distillation is used to obtain a distillation cut of the mixture. Without any further catalytic processing of the distillation cut, the distillation cut is blended with a fuel to create a fuel blend.
