NOVELTY - Producing low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil, comprises contacting a carbonaceous biomass feedstock with a microporous crystalline zeolitic catalyst at pyrolysis conditions to produce pyrolysis gases comprising hydrocarbons, and condensing a condensable portion of the pyrolysis gases to produce low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil.    USE - The process is useful for producing low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil (claimed), such as hydrocarbon products which are useful for producing biofuels and aromatic chemicals.    ADVANTAGE - The process produces the low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil with high yield, and improved energy density and thermal stability.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil, comprises contacting a carbonaceous biomass feedstock with a microporous crystalline zeolitic catalyst at pyrolysis conditions to produce pyrolysis gases comprising hydrocarbons, and condensing a condensable portion of the pyrolysis gases to produce low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil. The catalyst catalyzing a deoxygenation reaction converts at least a portion of the oxygenated hydrocarbons into hydrocarbons and removes the oxygen as carbon oxides and water. The catalyst comprises microporous crystalline zeolite, UZM-44-Modified, having a three-dimensional framework of at least aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide tetrahedral units and an empirical composition in the hydrogen form expressed by an empirical formula of (M1a(N1+)Al(1-x)ExSiyOz). The microporous crystalline zeolite, UZM-44-Modified, further has the x-ray diffraction pattern having at least the d-spacings and intensities set forth in table-B as given in the specification.    M1 = at least one exchangeable cation consisting of alkali, alkaline earth metals, rare earth metals, ammonium ion, and/or hydrogen ion;    a = mole ratio of M1 to (Al+E) of 0.05-50;    N1 = weighted average valence of M1 and value of +1 to +3;    E = Ga, Fe, and/or Br;    x = mole fraction of E of 0-1;    y = mole ratio of Si to (Al+E) of greater than 9 to virtually pure silica; and    z = mole ratio of O to (Al+E), where the value is determined by the equation, as given in the specification.
