Abstract	:	Low molecular weight alkenes comprise a significant fraction of the effluent from fluid catalytic cracking units and of the C2-C5 hydrocarbons produced from Fischer Tropsch synthesis. Yet these products are too volatile to be blended into transportation fuel. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate pathways by which light alkenes could be converted to molecules with favorable gasoline or diesel characteristics. This research is relevant because such pathways would allow for the production of fuels from non-petroleum feedstocks such as biomass, coal, and natural gas.
