Abstract
Scope of Review. This review is written from the point of view of the process design engineer trying to find the best catalytic options for upgrading methane. It is not intended to be a review of catalytic principles. In fact, actual catalysts used are only mentioned in passing. If the reader wishes to explore this aspect further, there are many recent review articles that can be used and these are referred to at an appropriate time and place.Keywords
