Still, to date, the production of methanol from methane on an industry scale is a crucial challenge. After a thorough study, in this review article, only those reported methods, which produce a satisfactory yield of methanol using a large variety of cata-lysts like natural, heterogeneous, non-thermal plasma, nanoparticles fixed in solid bed, etc., have been briefly discussed.
