Abstract—Reducing carbon dioxide emissions during production is one of the main trends in modern oil and gas chemistry. One of the most realistic possibilities for achieving this is to involve carbon dioxide generated in technological processes as a feedstock for producing gas chemical products. The maximum effect can be achieved in the production of large-scale chemicals, such as syngas, hydrogen, and methanol. We consider such possibilities and present a new combined autothermal process for the joint production of hydrogen and methanol based on non-catalytic matrix conversion of natural gas into syngas, which allows one to almost avoid CO₂ emissions.
