Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a method of processing plant oil to produce high grade fuel such as biodiesel and jet fuel. Particularly, a method is provided that includes treating an oil under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of i) an acid that acts as an in situ source of hydrogen and ii) an activated carbon essentially free of a metal catalyst, wherein the treating results in production of liquid hydrocarbons for use as a fuel.
