The present invention relates to a method of hydrogenating carbon monoxide. The method comprises providing a catalyst, passing a feed stream of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases through the catalyst and heating the catalyst. The invention provides the ability to hydrogenate carbon monoxide with low...
