To provide a synthetic naphtha fuel treated by hydrogenation, typically having ≥30 cetane number and low temperature flow properties.
The process for production of a synthetic naphtha fuel suitable for use in compression ignition (CI) engines is provided, wherein the process includes at least the steps of hydrotreating at least a fraction of a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis reaction product of CO and H2, or a derivative thereof, hydrocracking at least a fraction of the FT synthesis product or a derivative thereof, and fractionating the process products to obtain a desired synthetic naphtha fuel characteristic. The synthetic naphtha fuel made by the process as well as a fuel composition and a cloud point depressant for a diesel-fuel-containing fuel composition are provided, and the fuel composition and the depressant include the synthetic naphtha.
