A method for the catalytic partial oxidation of methane under relatively mild conditions of temperature, 650 - 900 DEG C, and pressure, 10 - 600 kPa, without the use of steam, gives a product comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with little or no steam and carbon dioxide. The catalyst includes a d-block transition metal preferably on a refractory support. Catalyst precursors include mixed metal oxides of formula substantially M2M'2O7 having the pyrochlore structure, where M may be selected from Mg, 8, Al, Ga, Si, Ti, Zr of Hf or a lanthanide and M' is a 'd' block metal. |
