Abstract
- It is undeniable that oil and gas explorations are going on at a frantic pace due to excessive fossil fuel usage across the world. This has compelled us to explore isolated or even uninhabited places to meet the surging demand for oil and gas. There is no doubt that scientists and researchers worldwide are exploring more renewable energy sources to produce value-added products. In the last few years, biogas' usage as a reactant gas in the catalytic reforming process has emanated as an energy carrier to produce energy-efficient products, i.e., syngas and methanol. This review aimed to analyze the research works focusing on the biogas DR reactions and methanol production from biogas. The findings of some experimental studies have been presented in the form of graphs for important selective parameters as case studies. The overall impression from the review suggests that the performance of the reforming catalysts deteriorates regarding different operating conditions. Still, the improvement in syngas production has been reported by neglecting the effect of H2S impurity. Furthermore, various parameters have been discussed paragraphically to evaluate the catalytic performance in biogas dry reforming reactions and a check on catalyst synthesis methods. After that, a few scattered studies have been discussed on methanol synthesis using biogas as a feedstock.
