Over the past few years, great attention is paid to syngas production processes from\ndifferent resources especially from abundant sources, such as methane. This review of the literature\nis intended for syngas production from methane through the dry reforming (DRM) and the steam\nreforming of methane (SRM). The catalyst development for DRM and SRM represents the key factor\nto realize a commercial application through the utilization of more efficient catalytic systems. Due to\nthe enormous amount of published literature in this field, the current work is mainly dedicated to\nthe most recent achievements in the metal-oxide catalyst development for DRM and SRM in the\npast five years. Ni-based supported catalysts are considered the most widely used catalysts for\nDRM and SRM, which are commercially available; hence, this review has focused on the recent\nadvancements achieved in Ni catalysts with special focus on the various attempts to address the\ncatalyst deactivation challenge in both DRM and SRM applications. Furthermore, other catalytic\nsystems, including Co-based catalysts, noble metals (Pt, Rh, Ru, and Ir), and bimetallic systems have\nbeen included in this literature review to understand the observed improvements in the catalytic\nactivities and coke suppression property of these catalysts
