The objective of this study is to selectively obtain an arbitrary hydrocarbon component as base material of fuel from a triglyceride using a cross-metathesis reaction with olefins. In this paper, the effects of degree of unsaturation in triglyceride and the position of carbon double bonds in octane on produced hydrocarbon component were experimentally investigated. As a result, it was found that the lighter hydrocarbon component is generated by using the triglyceride having the high degree of unsaturation like linseed oil, and the narrow-cut hydrocarbon component is obtained by a change reactant from 1-octane to 2-octane.
