  ABSTRACT: Owning to GHG emissions control and prospective future of biofuel, it is encouraged to look for a shift to alternate industrial feedstock and green processes to produce these chemicals from renewable biomass resources. Besides hydrotreating bio-oil or crop oil to produce second generation bio-fuels, the bio-oil can be co-processed in various refining units and it also may lead to the production of green diesel, which is not only an opportunity but also a challenge for petroleum industry. Green oil or green diesel can be produced by co-processing renewable diesel with petroleum oil in present hydroprocressing unit. Many researches and works have been done on co-processing process and related catalyst in the hope of figuring out the mechanism and optimizing the co-processing technology with adding amounts vegetable oils or animal fats to the traditional petroleum refining process to produce green oil. This is a literature review about green oil production by hydroprocessing and co-processing.
