Processes for forming low molecular weight (C2-4) olefins from renewable resources, and polyolefins formed from the olefins, are disclosed. The C2-4 olefins are produced by first converting a renewable resource, capable of being converted to syngas, to syngas. The syngas is converted, using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using a catalyst with low chain growth probabilities, to a composition comprising C2-4 olefins, which are then isolated to form a C2-4 olefin-rich stream. Propylene can be isolated from this stream, and the ethylene and butylene can be subjected to olefin metathesis to produce additional propylene. The propylene, or other olefins, can be subjected to a variety of polymerization conditions and used in a variety of products, to replace the propylene, and polypropylene, produced from crude oil. Thus, the olefins, and polymers, copolymer and terpolymers thereof, can help reduce U.S. dependence on foreign crude oil.

1. A process for producing propylene, comprising the steps of: a) converting one or more of coal, glycerol, ethanol, methanol, methane, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, black liquor, or biomass into syngas,b) using the syngas in a Fischer-Tropsch reaction using an iron-based catalyst with low chain
1. A process for producing propylene, comprising the steps of: a) converting one or more of coal, glycerol, ethanol, methanol, methane, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, black liquor, or biomass into syngas,b) using the syngas in a Fischer-Tropsch reaction using an iron-based catalyst with low chain growth probabilities to obtain a first product stream that comprises ethylene, butylene, and a first portion of propylene, and, optionally, ethane, propane, and butane,c) isolating at least a portion of the first portion of the propylene, optionally along with propane,d) separately isolating ethylene and butylene, optionally along with ethane and butane,e) combining the ethylene and butylene, and performing olefin metathesis on the ethylene and butylene, to obtain an second product stream rich in a second portion of propylene,f) isolating the second portion of propylene from the second product stream, andg) combining the first portion of the propylene with the second portion of the propylene. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the syngas is prepared from a renewable resource selected from the group consisting of glycerol, methanol, lignin, black liquor, switchgrass, bagasse, corn stover, rice hulls, sawdust, wood, hemicellulose, and algae. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the ethane, propane, and butane, or a fraction thereof, is dehydrogenated to form olefins. 4. The process of claim 3, further comprising isolating propylene from the dehydrogenated ethane, propane, and butane. 5. A process for producing polypropylene, comprising the steps of: a) converting one or more of coal, glycerol, ethanol, methanol, methane, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, black liquor, or biomass into syngas,b) using the syngas in a Fischer-Tropsch reaction using an iron-based catalyst with low chain growth probabilities to obtain a first product stream that comprises ethylene, butylene, and a first portion of propylene, and, optionally, ethane, propane, and butane,c) isolating at least a portion of the first portion of the propylene, optionally along with propane,d) separately isolating ethylene and butylene, optionally along with ethane and butane,e) combining the ethylene and butylene, and performing olefin metathesis on the ethylene and butylene, to obtain a second product stream rich in a second portion of propylene,f) isolating the second portion of propylene from the second product stream,g) combining the first portion of the propylene with the second portion of the propylene, and polymerizing the propylene to form polypropylene. 6. The process of claim 1, further comprising copolymerizing the propylene with another monomer to form a polypropylene copolymer. 7. The process of claim 6, wherein the other monomer is selected from the group consisting of ethylene, butylene, maleic acid, and furan. 8. The process of claim 5, wherein the polymerization is performed using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. 9. The process of claim 5, wherein the polymerization is performed using a metallocene catalyst.
