Compound of M3 is a nitrate, chloride, carbonate, hydroxy-carbonate, acetylacetonate, carboxylate, citrate, or its combination, preferably the compound of M3 is carbonate. The gas stream comprises air, nitrogen gas (N2), noble gas, hydrogen gas (H2), synthesis gas or its combination, preferably the gas stream comprising N2, noble gas, H2 or its combinations. The sulfur compound is selected from compound of formula R1R2S.R1 and R2=the same or different and selected from hydrogen, 1-6C aryl, or R1 and R2 are attached form a thiophene group.The gas stream further comprises a compound selected from H2, N2, noble gas, synthesis gas, and its combination. The gaseous stream further comprises hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Preferred Composition: The molar ratio of complexing agent relative to M1 in the solution of step (a) is 0.1 to 5, preferably 0.3 to 3. The wt.% of Mo on the total dry weight of solid obtained in step (b ) is between 2% and 50%, preferably between 5% and 30%. The molar ratio of the sulfur compound in the gas stream is between 1% and 85% molar, preferably between 6% and 20%. The recycle stream is between 70% and 95% of the synthesis gas not reacted, preferably between 85% and 93% the synthesis gas. Preferred Process: Impregnation steps (a) and (b) are a pore volume impregnation steps. Impregnation step (a) is impregnation step at pore volume excess. The method further involves an activation step (b') of solid that is after step (b) and before (c). Activation of step (b') is performed by heat treatment. It is carried out at a temperature of between 200 degrees C and 700 degrees C, preferably 250-550 degrees C. It is carried out under a stream of sulfur-free gas. Sulfiding step (c) is accomplished by exposing the solid to a gas stream comprising at least one sulfur compound. Obtaining higher alcohols (C2+) from synthesis gas further involves a post-separation of the products in at least a gaseous stream; a liquid stream step (ii); and recirculating the gas stream. The method further comprises separating methanol from the liquid stream; and separately recirculating methanol. The steps are carried out continuously. Preferred Conditions: The temperature of step (c) sulfiding is between 200 degrees C and 750 degrees C, preferably between 300 degrees C and 600 degrees C. Obtaining higher alcohols (C2+) from synthesis gas is carried out at a pressure of between 1 and 200 bar, preferably between 10 and 100 bar. It is carried out at a temperature of between 100 degrees C and 600 degrees C, preferably between 200 degrees C and 400 degrees C. It is carried out in a fixed bed reactor.
