Abstract: A process for producing distillate fuels, such as a diesel fuel, from a syngas feedstream having a relatively low H2/CO ratio of greater than 1 and equal to or less than 2.0. The syngas feedstream is preferably passed to a CO2 removal zone, then to at least one Fischer-Tropsch zone, wherein the resulting Fischer-Tropsch product stream is passed to a separation zone to obtain a hydrocarbon-containing fraction that is hydroconverted to result in a distillate boiling range stream.
