In this work we demonstrate catalytic partial oxidation of methane into syngas at pressures up to 0.8 MPa, power densities up to 15 MW/L and selectivity greater than 85%. The product composition profiles indicate high initial selectivity to CO and low initial selectivity to H 2 , suggesting direct partial Oxidation of methane primarily into CO and water, while most hydrogen is produced in the consecutive steam reforming of methane.
