An energy crisis due to the extreme consumption of the oil and to the contamination in its diverse forms exists. There are enormous natural gas reserves and the conversion of this gas in liquid fuels from the synthesis gas, through methanol, and posterior transformation of methanol in hydrocarbons is an interesting alternative. Hybrid catalysts based in methanol synthesis catalyst and an acidic porous material such as zeolites, are used for this direct synthesis. Six groups of hybrid catalyst were prepared and several properties studied such: preparation method of the hybrid catalyst, preparation method of the methanol synthesis catalyst, active site, CuO-ZnO-Al(2)O(3)/H- ferrierite ratio, acidity of the zeolite and different promoter. The zeolite used in all the systems was the ferrierite. The preparation method influenced the structural, textural, morphologic, acid and catalytic properties of the hybrid catalyst. The coprecipitationsedimentation method was more active in temperatures above 300°C. Morphologic differences in particles of the catalyst of methanol synthesis were observed when different preparation methods were used. The copper as active site was the better in the direct synthesis of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in temperatures above 300°C. The best CuO-ZnO-Al(2)O(3)/H- ferrierite catalyst ratio, in this direct synthesis, was 2:1. The chromium in the Cu-Zn- Al system favored the activity in 250°C. Low acidity/metallic area Cu(0) ratio and high temperatures (350 and 400°C) favored higher activities and selectivities in propane and butane, lower temperatures (300°C) favored the DME formation. High acidity/metallic area Cu(0) ratio favored the formation of ethane. The hydrocarbons distribution was dependent on the reaction temperature. Dimethyl ether showed a maximum at 300°C. The methanol, seens to be the limitant step of the process.
