A catalyst for converting synthesis gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons. The catalyst includes cobalt in catalytically active amounts up to about 60 wt % of the catalyst, rhenium in amounts of about 0.5 to 50 wt % of the cobalt content of the catalyst and an alkali in amount

A catalyst for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons comprising amounts of cobalt catalytically active in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, relatively lesser amounts of rhenium than the cobalt content and relatively lesser amounts of an alkali metal than the cobalt content of the catalyst, composited

A catalyst for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons comprising amounts of cobalt catalytically active in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, relatively lesser amounts of rhenium than the cobalt content and relatively lesser amounts of an alkali metal than the cobalt content of the catalyst, composited on an alumina support, wherein the alkali metal is selected from the group consisting of elements from Group IA of the periodic table.
