More rapidly to the target: Screening experiments in a miniautoclave demonstrate the different effects of catalytically active additives such as Raney nickel and basic alkali‐metal compounds on the reaction of methane in supercritical water. Accordingly, this opens up the possibility to convert methane into hydrogen and carbon dioxide with water in a single process step without the need to pass through the intermediate carbon monoxide stage which is currently necessary in industrial set ups (see scheme).
