| 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.
