1. A method of producing hydrocarbons from biomass, the method comprising:
- converting at least a portion of the biomass into a first product comprising at least one of a carboxylic acid, a ketone, an ammonium carboxylate salt, and combinations thereof;
converting at least a portion of the first product into an alcohol;
reacting at least some of the alcohol in an oligomerization reactor as part of a process that produces an oligomerization product; and
separating hydrocarbons from the oligomerization product.

Abstract
A method of producing hydrocarbons from biomass that includes converting at least a portion of the biomass into a first product having at least one of a carboxylic acid, a ketone, an ammonium carboxylate salt, and combinations thereof; converting at least a portion of the first product into an alcohol; reacting at least some of the alcohol in an oligomerization reactor as part of a process that produces an oligomerization product.

15. A method of producing hydrocarbons from biomass, the method comprising:
-
converting biomass into a product stream comprising at least one of a carboxylic acid component, a carboxylate salt component, and combinations thereof; reacting the product stream to produce an alcohol product; and reacting at least some of the alcohol product in an oligomerization reactor as part of a process that produces an hydrocarbon oligomerization product. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
