<p>A process for making a synthesis gas comprising H2 and CO in the presence of a reforming catalyst comprising a supported non-noble Group VIII metal catalytic component from a feed including a low molecular weight alkane, and preferably methane as in natural gas, O2 H2O and CO2 without catalyst deactivation is achieved by partially oxidizing and steam reforming the feed in the presence of the catalyst. The feed H2O to hydrocarbon carbon mole ratio is less than 2. The mole ratio of the combined feed CO2 and H2O to hydrocarbon carbon ranges from 0.5 - 2.5 and that of the feed H2O to CO2 ranges from 0.35 - 6. Synthesis gas having H2 to CO mole ratios less than 2:1 and even less than 1.5:1 are easily achieved with net CO2 consumption, which also makes the process environmentally beneficial.</p> |
