TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The bio-distillate composition has less than 1 wt.% of carbonyls, and has less than 0.5 wt.% of carboxylic acid. The bio-distillate composition has less than 0.5 wt.% of aldehydes, and further comprises 10-40 wt.% of oxygen-and-carbon-containing compounds, where the oxygen-and-carbon-containing compounds are phenolics, furans, ketones and/or aldehydes. The bio-distillate composition is derived from lignocellulosic biomass. The renewable distillate composition comprises the bio-distillate fraction in an amount of at least 25 wt.%. The bio-distillate fraction is separated from a bio-oil, where at least 75 wt.% of the bio-distillate fraction has a boiling point of 180-380 degrees C, the bio-oil has not previously been subjected to an oxygen-removing hydrotreatment step prior to separation of the bio-distillate fraction, and the bio-oil results from the thermochemical conversion of biomass in the presence of a catalyst. The petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream is regular distillate, low sulfur distillate, hydroprocessed light cycle oil, hydrotreated straight run gas oil, ultra low sulfur distillate and/or refinery processed middle distillate. The petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream comprises hydrocarbons having 12-25C atoms per molecule.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components:The stabilizing additive comprises a material comprising a non-ionic blockcopolymer having an hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) of at most 8, a non-ionic homopolymer having an HLB of at most 8, a mixture of a non-ionic block-copolymer and a non-ionic homopolymer having an average HLB of at most 8, a non-ionic surfactant having an average HLB of at most 8 and/or a fatty acid methyl ester. The HLB values of the non-ionic block-copolymer, where the non-ionic homopolymer, the mixture of the non-ionic block-copolymer and the non-ionic homopolymer, and the non-ionic surfactant are at least 2.
