In general, the proven technology to upgrade methane is via steam reforming to produce synthesis gas, CO + Such a gas mixture is clean and when converted to Hquids produces fuels substantially free of heteroatoms such as sulfur and nitrogen. Two commercial units utilizing the synthesis gas from natural gas technology in combination with novel downstream conversion processes have been commercialized. 

There has been an increasing interest in utilising off-gas technology to produce ammonia. A number of ammonia plants have been built that use methanol plant purge gas, which consists typically of 80% hydrogen. A 1250 t/d methanol plant can supply a sufficient amount of purge gas to produce 544 t/d of ammonia. The purge gas is first subjected to a number of purification steps prior to the ammonia synthesis.
