In recent years, challenges of climate change have contributed to strengthen the awareness of impact of Human on environment and the need to act immediately. European Union has set up guidelines to increase and diversify energy resources in particular through the use of renewable resources. Recently, several studies on co-processing of renewable resources with gas oil by sulfided catalysts showed the opportunity to produce greener fuels. NiMoS catalysts emerge as the most efficient ones, whereas hydrodesulfurization activity of CoMoS type turn out to be inhibited by bio-ressources. By reducing the inhibition related to the formation of CO/CO2, stacking beds with Mo and CoMo catalysts allow to perform HDS conversion of gas oil and hydrodeoxygenation of rapeseed oil in low pressure units. Moreover, such paraffins, co-produced in the blend, increase cetane index without reducing their cold flow properties.
