Hydrogen production from CO2 reforming of methane over cobalt-based catalysts

Increased concerns on anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have renewed interest in the CO2 (dry) reforming process as an alternative to steam reforming for synthesis gas production from natural gas. For hydrocarbon dry reforming, where the product stream H2:CO ratio is less than 3, synfuel produc...
