Methane is an abundant energy resource, and its catalytic conversion plays a crucial role in China’s energy transition and carbon emission reduction efforts under the “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” goals. This paper reviews and analyzes the research background, transformation pathways, reaction mechanisms, and challenges associated with methane catalytic conversion. It focuses on four primary methods of methane conversion: thermochemical conversion, photochemical conversion, electrochemical conversion, and bioconversion. The chemicals produced through each of these methods are examined in detail, and the paper also looks ahead to the future development directions of methane catalytic conversion. The aim is to provide theoretical and technical insights for the efficient utilization of methane and the reduction of carbon emissions in China.
