20 Claims

1. A process to provide renewable transportation fuels, the process comprising:

introducing sugar into one or more reactors;

converting the sugar into an intermediate renewable hydrocarbon blend stock within the one or more reactors;

passing the intermediate renewable hydrocarbon blend stock through a first separation unit to separate out at least an intermediate renewable gasoline blend stock;

introducing one or more lipids into a renewable diesel unit;

operating the renewable diesel unit to yield a renewable diesel product from the one or more lipids, the renewable diesel product including at least a low-grade naphtha and a renewable diesel;

passing the renewable diesel product through a second separation unit to separate out at least the renewable diesel and the low-grade naphtha, the low-grade naphtha having a benzene content less than about 0.5 volume percent and a research octane number of less than about 60;

blending the low-grade naphtha and the intermediate renewable gasoline blend stock so that a resulting blend defines a finished renewable gasoline; and

outputting the finished renewable gasoline.
