The present invention relates to a process for the production of ethanol, and optionally methanol, from synthesis gas. In particular the present invention relates to a process for the production of ethanol from a carbonaceous feedstock; wherein the carbonaceous feedstock is first converted to synthesis gas which is then converted to methanol, which is then converted to ethanoic acid, which is then esterified and which is then hydrogenated to produce ethanol in the same alcohol synthesis unit in which the said synthesis gas is converted to methanol.

L'invention concerne un processus de production d'éthanol et, éventuellement de méthanol, à partir de gaz de synthèse. L'invention concerne en particulier un processus de production d'éthanol à partir d'une charge carbonée et, cette charge carbonée est d'abord convertie en gaz de synthèse, laquelle est ensuite convertie en méthanol, lequel est ensuite converti en acide éthanoïque, lequel est ensuite estérifié, lequel est ensuite hydrogéné afin de produire de l'éthanol dans la même unité de synthèse d'alcool dans laquelle le gaz de synthèse est converti en méthanol.
