      abstract = {This book discusses effective and alternative uses for  natural gas (NG) and highlights the utilization of NG in  the field of methane activation and chemical production. It  details the techniques used during the reforming process of  petrochemical and bio-derived fuels and it presents  cutting-edge research that describes the utilization of NG  that enables it to be more cost-effective and eliminate the  expensive greenhouse gas emitting process of hydrogen  production. The book addresses three major topics: NG use  in upstream heavy oil and bitumen upgrading, NG and its use  in downstream oil refining through co-aromatization of  various feeds in the petrochemical industry, and NG use in  the upgrading of bio-derived fuels and discusses  alternative uses of NG. In-depth chapters demonstrate uses  for NG beyond heating homes, through catalysis and in-situ  hydrogen donation, and its potential applications for the  petrochemical and biofuel industries. Provides a detailed  review of methane activation; Demonstrates effective and  alternative uses for NG; Presents a detailed plot of the  current technologies as well as ongoing research projects  in the field.},
