We have studied the phase transformation, stability and performance of potassium promoted Fischer-Tropsch catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to short chained hydrocarbons as booster of synthetic natural gas. The studies were conducted in novel in situ characterization techniques acquiring characterization and kinetic data in parallel.
