The production of alcohols and aldehydes using biomass to oxygenate via Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been gaining increasing attention. The products of FTS are mainly paraffins and olefins, as well as oxygenates (such as alcohols and aldehydes). The product spectrum could be steered toward products of interest, such as short- or long-chain oxygenates. This chapter mainly focuses on the catalysis and optimization of the conversion of syngas via FTS and hydroformylation to produce more oxygenates. The highly selective catalysts for FTS and hydroformylation are reviewed and discussed. A case study for the application of FTS and hydroformylation in syngas to oxygenates is investigated.
