Abstract: Process and plant for producing a hydrocarbon product boiling in the gasoline boiling range, comprising: upgrading a naphtha containing stream derived from Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis by passing the naphtha containing stream through an aromatization stage comprising contacting the naphtha containing stream with an aluminosilicate zeolite, thereby producing said hydrocarbon product boiling in the gasoline boiling range, and a separate light hydrocarbon gas stream, such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG) stream. The synthesis gas for the FT-synthesis is produced by electrically heated reverse water gas shift (e-RWGS) of a feedstock comprising CO2 and H2.
