(Chemical Equation Presented) Gasoline from methane: Methane can be activated nonoxidatively and converted into higher hydrocarbons over bifunctional zeolite catalysts at low temperatures (≤ 600°C; see scheme). The amount of methane converted per mole of methanol by this process can meet or even exceed 1 mol. This approach could potentially lead to an economically feasible technology for the commercial conversion of methane into liquid hydrocarbons.
