Process for hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and derivatives to hydrocarbons

A process for hydrogenating a carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof having a carboxylate group represented by the general formula R1COO-, which process comprises feeding hydrogen and the carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof to a reactor and maintaining conditions within the reactor such that hydrogen reacts with the carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof to produce a product stream comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and hydrocarbons represented by general formulae R1H and R1CH3, characterised in that the molar ratio of R1H : R1CH3 is above a pre-determined value and/or the mole ratio of the sum of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane to carboxylate groups is above a pre-determined value.
