This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in catalytic processes to convert methane (a major
component of natural gas) to more valuable hydrocarbons as fuels or chemicals. The scope …

This Perspective highlights recent developments in methane conversion into different
hydrocarbons and oxygenates (methanol, its derivatives, and formaldehyde) with the …

Steam cracking is a well-established commercial technology for ethylene production.
Despite decades of optimization efforts, the process is, nevertheless, highly energy and …

The economically viable oxidative upgrading of methane presents one of the most difficult
but rewarding challenges within catalysis research. Its potential to revolutionalise the …

This review discusses the thermodynamic and kinetic limitations that currently make the
oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) industrially inviable. We analyze some promising …

Direct conversion of methane to C2 compounds by oxidative and nonoxidative coupling
reactions has been intensively studied in the past four decades; however, because these …

Abstract Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is one type of high temperature fuel cell that appears
to be one of the most promising technology to provide the efficient and clean energy …

Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) has been investigated as an interesting way to obtain
higher hydrocarbons from natural gas. The aim of this article is to evaluate the reactor …

Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is considered one of the most promising routes to
directly convert methane into more valuable hydrocarbons. The uncertain economics related …

This paper explores alternative technologies for the conversion of natural gas to higher-
value products. Because of methane's chemical stability, all practical processes require …
