- More about Methane Conversion Routes: Status and Prospects
Methane is a plentiful carbon-based feedstock, but it is not very chemically reactive, making it a "grand challenge" in chemistry. This book discusses the progress and current state of the art for alternative methane activation and conversion processes, including homogeneous- and heterogeneous catalytic, electrocatalytic, and pyrolytic systems, making it a useful resource for anyone working in green chemistry, catalysis, and chemical engineering.

The majority of carbon-based feedstocks currently rely on fossil fuels, which have a finite supply. However, methane, a readily available carbon-based feedstock, is gaining attention due to its abundance, with significant amounts being made available through fracking and renewable sources derived from biogas plants. While methane possesses chemical reactivity, it remains one of the significant challenges in chemistry to develop clean, efficient, and affordable processes for converting methane into valuable molecules.
In recent years, significant advancements have been made in methane activation and direct conversion processes. This book explores the progress and current state of art for a diverse range of alternative methane activation and subsequent conversion methods, encompassing homogeneous- and heterogeneous catalytic, electrocatalytic, and pyrolytic systems. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals engaged in green chemistry, catalysis, and chemical engineering.
Methane, as a greenhouse gas, holds significant environmental implications. By converting it into valuable products, such as chemicals and fuels, the potential exists to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable energy practices. The book discusses various strategies and techniques for methane activation, including chemical activation, thermal activation, and biological activation, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and potential applications.
Furthermore, the book explores direct conversion processes, such as methane oxidation, methane dehydrogenation, and methane synthesis, discussing the challenges and opportunities associated with each method. It examines the development of catalysts, reactors, and process design considerations to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of these conversion processes.
The book also addresses the economic and societal implications of methane activation and direct conversion processes. It discusses the potential for job creation, economic growth, and energy security in developing countries that rely on fossil fuels. It also explores the challenges and barriers to implementing these technologies, such as regulatory frameworks, infrastructure development, and public acceptance.
In conclusion, this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of methane activation and direct conversion processes. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals seeking to advance the development of clean and sustainable energy solutions. By exploring the potential of methane as a feedstock, the book contributes to the pursuit of a more sustainable and resilient future.
