Abstract

Methods, systems and apparatus relate to producing synthesis gas or carbon and hydrogen utilizing a reduced catalyst CuO—Fe2O3. The method comprises introducing CH4; reducing the CuO—Fe2O3 with the introduced CH4, yielding at least a reduced metal catalyst; oxidizing the reduced metal with O2 yielding CuO—Fe2O3; and generating heat that would be used for the hydrogen and carbon or syngas production with the reduced catalyst CuO—Fe2O3.
