FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: at the first step, raw material containing at least one fatty acid, having 8-26 carbon atoms, is esterified with at least one fatty alcohol having 8-26 carbon atoms to obtain esters, at the second step, the obtained esters are hydrogenated to fatty alcohols, at the third step, the obtained fatty alcohols are dehydrogenated to alpha-olefins, at the fourth step, the alpha-olefins are oligomerised to oligomers which are then hydrogenated at the fifth step. The invention also relates to polyolefin base oil or a base oil component obtained using the described method.

EFFECT: invention enables to obtain branched saturated hydrocarbons from renewable sources.
