power production domestically. It is economically attractive to also convert the extracted natural gas to_x000D_
higher-value feedstocks for use in other industries, e.g., conversion of natural gas to ethane for production of_x000D_
polyethylene (plastics). In this work, we will develop a new research reactor to evaluate the potential for_x000D_
producing higher value products from natural gas using membrane-based oxidative coupling of methane., program purpose french : Canada has significant natural gas resources, which are primarily extracted and exported or used for heat and_x000D_
