20.1 Introduction

The recent global natural gas production increase and its low price in the United States has led to an increase in the utilization of natural‐gas‐based power generation (U.S. Energy Information Administration and U.S. Department of Energy 2011). Some studies have estimated the Ultimately Recoverable Resources (URR) of natural gas to be between 10,700 and 18,300 EJ, for conventional sources and 4,250 to 11,000 EJ for unconventional sources while the peak yearly natural gas recovery period is estimated between 2025 and 2066 at 140 to 217 EJ/y (Al‐Fattah and Startzman n.d.; U.S. Energy Information Administration and U.S. Department of Energy 2011; Mohr and Evans 2011). Natural gas is a feedstock for several industrial processes. Some of them convert natural gas to more valuable chemicals. Catalytic steam reforming is a popular industrial process for converting natural gas to syngas, and other valuable chemicals for other industrial processes. The main routes ...
