Wax on, wax off: Bifunctional cobalt‐based catalysts on zeolite supports are applied for the valorization of biosyngas through Fischer‐Tropsch chemistry. By using these catalysts, waxes can be hydrocracked to shorter‐chain hydrocarbons, increasing the selectivity towards the C 5 –C 11 (gasoline) fraction. The zeolite topology and the amount and strength of acid sites are key parameters to maximize the performance of these bifunctional catalysts, steering Fischer‐Tropsch product selectivity towards liquid hydrocarbons.
