Abstract: This paper presents the results of a biofuel production process conducted using a cutting-edge, highly selective hydroisomerization catalyst. Rapeseed oil was used as a basic raw material for the synthesis of sustainable aviation fuel. The objective was to verify the catalysts hydroisomerization activity by comparison the effectiveness of obtained biofuel using a miniature jet engine and its compliance with current standards. The developed two-stage process by Łukasiewicz - ICSO involves the conversion of rapeseed oil into a C15–C18 hydrocarbon fraction through hydrodeoxygenation and subsequent hydroisomerization using the Pt/(SAPO-11 + Al2O3) catalyst. The overall average final yield of the aviation fuel fraction (C9–C18) after 500 h of testing was (60 ± 3)% based on the initial rapeseed oil used.
