NOVELTY - Process for direct conversion of lipidic biomass to a transportation fuel, comprises: (A) performing thermal hydrolysis on a lipidic biomass to form a product stream comprising a free fatty acid and form a by-product stream comprising glycerol; (B) performing catalytic deoxygenation on the free fatty acid stream to form a product stream comprising an n-alkane; and (C) performing one or more reforming steps on the n-alkane stream to form a product stream containing a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds comprising alkanes, isoalkanes, aromatics or cycloalkanes.    USE - The process is useful for direct conversion of lipidic biomass to a transportation fuel (preferably jet engine fuel, gasoline engine fuel and diesel engine fuel) (claimed), which is useful: in internal combustion engines such as transportation vehicles (e.g. automobiles, airplanes, trains, and heavy machinery); and as replacement for petroleum-derived transportation fuels.    ADVANTAGE - The process exhibits an overall energy efficiency of at least 75%, where the energy efficiency is calculated as the lower heating value of the produced transportation fuel over the sum of the lower heating value of the process reactants and the total energy input into the process. The process provides: affordable source of biofuels; and feedstock flexibility, high process efficiency, effective utilization of process by-products, and the ability to deliver a biofuel that is substantially identical to a petroleum-derived fuel product. The process avoids: the need for introducing a separate solvent; the need to add costly heat to bring the solvent up to the reaction temperature; and slowing the reaction process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Process for direct conversion of lipidic biomass to a transportation fuel, comprises: (A) performing thermal hydrolysis on a lipidic biomass to form a product stream comprising a free fatty acid and form a by-product stream comprising glycerol; (B) performing catalytic deoxygenation on the free fatty acid stream to form a product stream comprising an n-alkane; and (C) performing one or more reforming steps on the n-alkane stream to form a product stream containing a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds comprising alkanes, isoalkanes, aromatics or cycloalkanes, where, after step (C), the hydrocarbon compounds in the product stream are in a combination and ratio necessary to form an overall composition useful as the transportation fuel. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for a bio-jet fuel, a bio-gasoline and a bio-diesel prepared by the process.
