Technology Brief AliphaJet’s proprietary catalytic deoxygenation (“decarboxylation”) technology converts any renewable oils and fats (such as waste vegetable oil, tallow, algal oil, and non-food oil crops like pennycress, camelina, jatropha, and pongamia), into true “drop-in” hydrocarbon fuels including diesel (F-76), jet fuel (Jet-A, JP-5, JP-8), and high-octane gasoline. It does this by catalytically removing the oxygen from the fatty acids contained in triglyceride oils, producing hydrocarbons and glycerine as the sole products.  
Additional Information Location of the pilot plant still to be determined.
