Deoxygenation offers a great potential for conversion of biomass-derived feedstocks, typically showing high concentration of oxygen (>10%), to fuel-range products, having low residual oxygen concentration (<0.1%). The presentation will provide an overview of current industrial status and discuss the challenges and opportunities in the field of deoxygenation. The main challenges being faced include minimization of hydrogen consumption by steering the selectivity and modification of product properties by skeletal isomerization. The use of alternative cheaper feedstocks is yet another challenge that can be seen as a very promising opportunity.
