8. A process for producing a renewable hydrocarbon fuel product, the process comprising:
providing a renewable paraffinic feed stock;
reacting said renewable paraffinic feed stock in a fluid catalytic cracking reactor at a temperature ranging from 400° C. to 530° C., and a catalyst to feed stock ratio ranging from 4:1 to 10:1 to produce a renewable hydrocarbon fuel product;
wherein the renewable paraffinic feed stock comprises 0% to 10% by volume of a petroleum feed;
wherein said renewable paraffinic feed stock being fed to the fluid catalytic cracking reactor has not been isomerized; and
wherein the reacting step yields less than 5% wt. coke from the cracking of the renewable paraffinic intermediate.
