The invention relates to a method and plant for obtaining a main product stream with hydrocarbons from a reactant comprising at least one substance of the group of alcohols and the group of ethers, for the production of transport fuel The reactant is fed to a prereactor stage, which is at least partially catalytically converted into an intermediate product stream, wherein the molar proportion of C2 to C5 hydrocarbon among all hydrocarbon of the inter-mediate product stream is at least 55 percent. The intermediate product stream is fed to a main reactor stage, in which the hydrocarbons of the intermediate product stream are oligomerized by means of a main reactor stage catalyst. The weight proportion of C10 to C16 hydrocarbons among all hydrocarbons of the main product stream is at least 15 percent. The catalyst is a metal organic framework
