The present technology relates to biofuels, and more particularly, to biomass-based diesel from olefin oligomers. Diesel fuels with cetane number of 49 or greater are prepared by blending hydrocarbons produced by olefin oligomerization with renewable diesel, resulting in a blended fuel that has a lower cloud point than the cloud point of the renewable diesel. A different aspect relates to an integrated process for lipid HDO and olefin oligomerization wherein the propane coproduct of lipid HDO is subjected to dehydrogenation to produce a vapor stream having propylene and hydrogen. The propylene is subsequently oligomerized to iso-olefins and the iso-olefins are combined with the lipid feed for hydrogenation in the HDO reactor.
