We have been investigating a new synthesis gas production catalyst and process with carbon dioxide and steam reforming of natural gas. In the process, synthesis gases of variou molar ratios of hydrogen to carbon dioxide are produced with high energy efficiency and low amount of carbon dioxide emission. Because the proprietary reforming catalyst with high resistance to carbon deposition could allow carbon dioxide and steam reforming reaction under optimal conditions with low carbon dioxide and steam to gas feed ratio. The catalyst showed the good performance in the pilot plant test.
