The present disclosure relates to a process plant and a process for production of a hydrocarbon suitable for use as jet fuel from a feedstock being a renewable feedstock or an oxygenate feedstock, comprising the steps of combining the renewable feedstock with an amount of a hydrocracked intermediate product, directing it to contact a material catalytically active in hydrodeoxygenation under hydrodeoxygenation conditions to provide a hydrodeoxygenated intermediate product, fractionating said hydrodeoxygenated intermediate product in at least two fractions including a first fraction of which at least 90% boils below a defined boiling point and a second fraction of which at least 90% boils above said defined boiling point, directing at least an amount of said second fraction to contact a material catalytically active in hydrocracking under hydrocracking conditions to provide the hydrocracked intermediate product, with the associated benefit of such a process being well suited for efficiently converting the upper-boiling point of an oxygenate feedstock such as a renewable feedstocks to a lower boiling product, such as non-fossil kerosene. |
