Co‐Cu catalysts represent a promising possibility to synthesize higher alcohols. In this study, novel carbon‐embedded Co‐Cu catalysts have been prepared and were tested in an 8‐fold parallel reactor system. Moreover, the influence of Mn as a dopant on the catalytic performance has been studied. It was shown that Mn reduced the selectivity for methane and favored the formation of olefins. In contrast to Cu‐free catalysts, Cu‐containing catalysts have an improved selectivity for alcohols.
