Energy and feedstock materials for the chemical industry are in
increasing demand and, with constraints related to the
availability and use of oil, the energy and chemical industry is
undergoing considerable changes. In recent years, major
restructuring has occurred in the oil, petrochemical, and
chemical industry, with increasing attention devoted to the use
of natural gas, methane in particular, as a chemical feedstock
rather than just as a fuel. The conversion of remote natural gas
into liquid fuels or other transportable chemicals is a challenge
to industrial catalysis. Few processes exist so far with the
major ones involving the conversion of natural gas to synthesis
gas by steam reforming, CO

In this book, a comprehensive overview of the field of processing
natural gas is given, through a series of chapters written by
leading scientists and engineers in the field. New developments
are discussed and current work relevant to the area is shown by a
series of recent works by researchers working in this and related
fields.
