Abstract
The present invention is directed to a process for producing endothermic gases from methanol and inert gas streams containing minor amounts of oxygen, wherein the oxygen is reacted with stoichiometric excess quantities of methanol over a catalyst as ambient feed temperature conditions without a requirement for external heating of the reaction to produce an endothermic gas containing very low levels of oxygen and methanol and significant quantities of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water and carbon dioxide.
