Abstract: A process for catalytic cracking of a pyrolysis oil derived from material comprising biomass. In one embodiment, the process comprises subjecting a feed comprising the pyrolysis oil to a hydrodeoxygenation step to prepare an at least partially deoxygenated pyrolysis oil; heating a hydrocarbon feed to a temperature in the range from equal to or more than 50° C. to equal to or less than 200° C. to prepare a preheated hydrocarbon feed; mixing the at least partially deoxygenated pyrolysis oil and the preheated hydrocarbon feed to prepare a feed mixture; and contacting the feed mixture with a catalytic cracking catalyst in a catalytic cracking reactor at a temperature of at least 400° C. to prepare a product stream containing one or more cracked products.

Abstract: A process for converting a biomass comprising contacting the biomass with a catalytic cracking catalyst at a temperature of more than 400° C. in a catalytic cracking reactor to produce a product stream containing one or more cracked products and supplying a biomass to the reactor via a feed nozzle having a feed nozzle outlet located between a first section and a second section of the reactor and downstream of an opening of a catalyst supply pipe connected to the first section, wherein the second section comprises a fluid connection to and located downstream of the first section, the second section having an inner diameter which decreases in a downstream direction.
