<P>Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of neat methyl levulinate into pentanoic biofuels is one of the pivotal reactions in biomass valorization. A combined pentanoic acid/methyl pentanoate yield of 92% can be achieved for Ru/USY with a Si/Al ratio of 15 at 220 &deg;C and 40 bar H<SUB>2</SUB>. The superior performance of Ru/USY-15 for the efficient production of pentanoic biofuels is attributed to the optimal site balance between the Ru species and strong acid sites (<I>ca.</I> 1 : 5).</P><P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>Ru/USY-15 with an optimal site ratio of &sim;1 : 5 between metal and strong acid sites is illustrated for the efficient production of pentanoic biofuels in the hydrodeoxygenation of methyl levulinate.<BR/><IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=d3dt01169k'/><BR/></P>
