Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is considered as an inedible and renewable feedstock for the production of green diesel. In the current study, green diesel was successfully synthesised via catalytic deoxygenation of PFAD in an environment free of H2 using a mesoporous activated carbon (AC) support...
