1. A process for preparing C2 to C4 olefins comprising:
introducing a feed stream comprising hydrogen gas and a carbon-containing gas selected from the group consisting of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and mixtures thereof into a reaction zone of a reactor; and
converting the feed stream into a product stream comprising C2 to C4 olefins in the reaction zone in the presence of a hybrid catalyst, the hybrid catalyst comprising:
a metal oxide catalyst component comprising gallium oxide and phase pure zirconia; and
a microporous catalyst component.
