Hydrocarbon oil is catalytically cracked to produce gasoline hydrocarbons and also gaseous materials including H₂ and normally gaseous hydrocarbons such as CH₄. The catalyst is regenerated by treating with CO₂ under conditions such that CO₂ is converted to CO and the carbonaceous material is burned from the catalyst. The catalyst is used again in cracking fresh feed oil, and the CO produced in the regeneration is used for reactions with H₂ to form synthetic hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process.
