Polymetallic Mo–Ni, Mo–Co, and Mo–Ni–Co catalysts were prepared by gravity-assisted SHS metallurgy followed by alkali leaching of aluminum from intermetallic precursors. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM/EDS, H2-TPR, FTIR, and nitrogen sorption method and tested in CO2 hydrogenation under normal and enhanced pressure. Conversion of CO2 to CO, CH4 and higher hydrocarbons is ruled by catalyst nature, temperature, pressure, and H2 to CO2 molar ratio in feed gas. Ni-containing catalysts convert CO2 to CH4 selectively at 200–350 °C under atmospheric pressure. Mo–Co and Mo–Ni–Co catalysts provide high selectivity to liquid hydrocarbons (yield up to 27% on CO2 passed) which are 100% paraffinic with low yield of methane at enhanced pressure.
