Synthesis and Testing of Industrial Catalysts for Carbon dioxide (CO2)Reforming of Methane (CH4) in Coal Delivered Gases.

CO2 reforming of CH4 is a mean of converting greenhouse gases (environmental pollution gases) to useful industrial syn gas (fuel) through chemical reaction. This reaction cannot take place without the help of good performing catalysts. After synthesizing a stable catalyst at the laboratory level, our next step towards commercialization is to make it into shape catalyst and try it in a practically realistic source of CH4 and CO2.
