    Abstract: A production plant and a method for production of a synthetized gasoline product from a synthetic hydrocarbon mixture produced from a mixture of reactive oxygenates, the method including a. separating the synthetic hydrocarbon mixture in at least a light hydrocarbon fraction, and a higher boiling hydrocarbon fraction, wherein the higher boiling fraction comprises at least 70% of the molecules including 10 or more carbon atoms and less than 20% of the molecules comprising exactly 9 carbon atoms, b. directing at least an amount of said higher boiling hydrocarbon fraction as a hydrocracking feedstock to contact a material catalytically active in hydrocracking under effective hydrocracking conditions providing a hydrocracked hydrocarbon stream, wherein at least an amount of said hydrocracked hydrocarbon stream is combined with at least an amount of said light hydrocarbon fraction, to provide said synthetized gasoline product having a T90 being below T90 of said synthetic hydrocarbon mixture.

    Abstract: Optimized, heat-integrated methods and systems are provided to produce multiple, high-value products from oil shale, while minimizing overall energy and water usage. A method for producing multiple products from oil shale comprises: feeding raw oil shale into a heated retorting unit, to convert kerogen into a retorted stream; introducing the retorted stream to a distillation column to generate a high-cetane diesel stream, an α-olefin-containing chemical stream, an asphalt/asphalt additive stream, and an overhead gas stream, wherein heat contained in the retorted stream is harnessed as distillation energy; separating the overhead gas stream into a fuel gas stream and a purge gas stream; combusting the fuel gas stream to generate hot flue gas; heating the purge gas with hot flue gas; feeding the heated purge gas directly to the heated retorting unit; and recovering the high-cetane diesel stream, the α-olefin-containing chemical stream, and the asphalt/asphalt additive stream as products.
