Abstract
A zirconium, hafnium, cerium or uranium promoted cobalt catalyst and process for the conversion of methanol or synthesis gas to hydrocarbons. Methanol is contacted, preferably with added hydrogen, over said catalyst, or synthesis gas is contacted over said catalyst to produce, at reaction conditions, an admixture of C.sub.10 + linear paraffins and olefins. These hydrocarbons can be further refined to high quality middle distillate fuels, and other valuable products such as mogas, diesel fuel, and jet fuel, particularly premium middle distillate fuels of carbon number ranging to about C.sub.20.
