MUMBAI, India, June 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517035232 A) filed by Renewable Energy Group Inc., Ames, U.S.A., on April 10, for 'method for manufacture of a biomass based diesel from feedstock from olefin oligomers.'

Inventor(s) include Abhari Ramin; and Haverly Martin.

The application for the patent was published on June 13, under issue no. 24/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present technology relates to biofuels and more particularly to biomass based diesel from olefin oligomers. Diesel fuels with cetane number of 49 or greater are prepared by blending hydrocarbons produced by olefin oligomerization with renewable diesel resulting in a blended fuel that has a lower cloud point than the cloud point of the renewable diesel. A different aspect relates to an integrated process for lipid HDO and olefin oligomerization wherein the propane coproduct of lipid HDO is subjected to dehydrogenation to produce a vapor stream having propylene and hydrogen. The propylene is subsequently oligomerized to iso olefins and the iso olefins are combined with the lipid feed for hydrogenation in the HDO reactor."

The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 02, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/075699.
