The methane to methanol conversion via esterification is an interesting method which makes it possible to eliminate the otherwise necessary phase of obtaining synthesis gas. On the basis of laboratory investigations mass balances for this process were determined. Preliminary assessment of the way of conducting the process and possibilities of practical applications of this technology was also made. It was pointed out that regardless of any possible modifications of methane to methanol conversion via esterification redundant sulfuric acid will always be produced during ester hydrolysis. Production of methanol from methane using this method can only be done when it is combined with producing other substances, which needs using H2SO4.

Three methods of methane conversion into oxidants, excluding the stage of obtaining the synthesis gas, are known: partial catalytic oxidation over the heterogeneous catalysts, non-catalytic process of oxidation under pressure and methane esterification combined with hydrolysis. When taking into consideration the results of the studies on methane partial oxidation which have been conducted over a number of years, the last method seems to be the most promising one. The obtained ratio of methane conversion into methanol as the final product, comprises nearly 100% when the process is run in oleum, and platinum chloride (IV) acts as the catalyst.
