Abstract—The Russian Federation has large gas resources, and an increase in the share of their chemical pro-
cessing is a topical problem, solution of which involves many scientific teams. This paper describes innovative
achievements of the author and his colleagues in developing highly efficient catalysts for methane conversion
into ethylene and synthesis gas—key large-tonnage semiproducts of the chemical industry. The prospects of
creating corresponding technologies and their practical implementation are discussed. In particular, for the most
active catalysts of ethylene production, technical conditions and a production technology have been developed
and introduced at the Baltic Enterprise (Baltiiskaya Manufaktura) research and production company. Within the
framework of cooperation with the Gazprom public joint-stock company, technical conditions for catalysts for
synthesis gas production have been developed and approved, mathematical modeling has been conducted, and
options of reactor units and a process flowsheet have been proposed.

Keywords: materials, technologies, gas feedstock processing, catalysts, ecology, ethylene, synthesis gas.
