NOVELTY - Producing a lube base stock and/or a fuel from a feedstock of biological origin, comprises contacting the feedstock in the presence of a catalyst to produce a lube base stock and/or a fuel. The catalyst comprises: a zeolite component; 0.1-5 wt.% of a hydrogenation component e.g. platinum, palladium, silver and/or iridium; and a hydrothermally stable binder component e.g. silica, alumina, silica-alumina, titania, zirconia or tantalum oxide. The weight ratio of the zeolite component to the hydrothermally stable binder component is 85:15 to 25:75.    USE - The method is useful for producing a lube base stock and/or a fuel comprising jet fuel, diesel fuel or gasoline from a feedstock of biological origin (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method provides products that are significantly free of carbonyl carbon, and consistent with high conversions. The catalyst has improved hydrothermal stability, and minimizes metal agglomeration, hence improves catalytic selectivity and activity. The catalyst is capable of doing the hydrogenation and/or isomerization in the presence of water and carbon dioxide without significantly cracking the molecules to gaseous products.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing a lube base stock and/or a fuel from a feedstock of biological origin, comprises: contacting the feedstock in the presence of a catalyst to produce a lube base stock and/or a fuel. The catalyst comprises: a zeolite component comprising a zeolite having 10-member ring pores and/or a zeolite having 12-member ring pores; 0.1-5 wt.% of a hydrogenation component comprising platinum, palladium, silver, nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten, rhodium, rhenium, ruthenium and/or iridium; and a hydrothermally stable binder component comprising silica, alumina, silica-alumina, titania, zirconia, tantalum oxide, tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, yttrium oxide, lanthanum oxide, cerium oxide, niobium oxide, tungstated zirconia, cobalt molybdenum oxide, cobalt molybdenum sulfide, nickel molybdenum oxide, nickel molybdenum sulfide, nickel tungsten oxide, nickel tungsten sulfide, cobalt tungsten oxide, cobalt tungsten sulfide, nickel molybdenum tungsten oxide and nickel molybdenum tungsten sulfide, cobalt molybdenum tungsten oxide or cobalt molybdenum tungsten sulfide. The weight ratio of the zeolite component to the hydrothermally stable binder component is 85:15 to 25:75.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic view of process flow for the conversion of renewable feedstocks to higher value fuels and lubes products where the catalyst can be placed into the hydroisomerization unit.
