Natural bio-oils have carbon chain lengths that are in the diesel range, 16-18 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon. Converting these molecules to the jet fuel range of 10-12 carbon atoms results in a loss of yield. More light hydrocarbons like LPG and Naphtha are produced in the renewable jet than renewable diesel process.
