Process for making sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from specific bio-ethylene oligomerization reactions producing a C.sub.4-C.sub.8 alpha-olefin and a by-product mixture of C.sub.10 olefins. This mixed decene stream is upgraded by further oligomerizing with at least one C.sub.4-C.sub.6 alpha-olefin to provide a C.sub.16 olefin stream, which is hydrogenated to C.sub.16 paraffins which is used to form a SAF. Employing bio-ethylene to produce the mixed decene stream, which is relatively low-value due in part to its non-selectivity, leverages that non-selectivity into a desirable sustainable aviation fuel product where the low selectivity is preferable. These and other embodiments and aspects are described herein.

Described are new processes for making sustainable jet fuels and components thereof, based upon generating bio-ethylene by dehydration of biomass ethanol or a bio-syngas ethanol, and subsequently employing a tailored selection of oligomerization, cyclization, and hydrogenation reactions to generate each class of compounds which can be used as components in a sustainable aviation fuel. For example bio-ethylene oligomerization can provide olefin oligomers which can be hydrogenated to linear and branched paraffins, these paraffins can be cyclized to form bio-sourced aromatic compounds which subsequently can be hydrogenated to form cycloparaffins or naphthenes. These compounds can be blended to provide sustainable products in the kerosene jet fuel range (C.sub.8-C.sub.16) or wide-cut jet fuel range (C.sub.5-C.sub.15 or C.sub.4-C.sub.16).
