Abstract
This review deals with the following problems: (1) fundamentals of the main processes of natural gas conversion into syngas and further into methanol, dimethyl ether, and methyl formate; (2) specific features of the kinetics and mechanisms of these processes; (3) the prospects of their improvement; (4) some new achievements; and (5) the general scheme of syngas conversion into oxygenates and motor fuel.
