A process for conversion of a cellulosic material comprising a liquefaction step comprising contacting a cellulosic material with a liquid solvent at a temperature of equal to or more than 200°C; or contacting a cellulosic material with a liquid solvent at a temperature of equal to or more than 100°C in the presence of a catalyst to produce a final liquefied product; a catalytic cracking step comprising contacting at least part of the final liquefied product with a fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst at a temperature of equal to or more than 400°C to produce one or more cracked products.
