Abstract: A process for hydrogenation of oxygen-containing organic products, oil refinery products or mixtures thereof, wherein the process comprises bringing the organic products, oil refinery products, or mixtures thereof into contact with a catalyst according to claim 1 in the presence of hydrogen gas at a temperature in the range of 200 to 500° C. and at a pressure in the range of 10 to 1000 bar.

Abstract: The catalyst comprises at least a metal component and at least a non-metallic conducting component as supplement component. The metal component generally contains one or more metals of the groups VIb, VIIb or VIIIb of the periodic table. The supplement component is e.g. a conducting carbon material like graphite, a conducting polymer or a conducting metal oxide. Preferably it is hydrophobic or made hydrophobic. The catalyst is used for hydroprocessing of bio-feedstock like vegetable oils to produce fuels, which are aliphatic hydrocarbons comparable to conventional fuel from mineral oil.
