Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) is by far one of the key industrial processes that can help in achieving green and sustainable energy. As a major source of hydrogen (the so called future and green fuel), valuable oxygenated chemicals and key reaction for solid oxide fuel cells, the process solely depends on the presence of a metal supported catalyst to carry out the conversion of the feeds. The methane steam reforming (MSR) reaction is one of the major hydrogen sources in the industry. It is a significant means of transforming natural gas into valuable liquid fuels and oxygenated chemicals catalytically. Several techniques such as the inclusion of promoters, the development of improved catalytic supports, and structural modification, among other things have been developed in the past decade with the target of improving the catalytic activity, coking resistance and thermal stability of SMR catalysts. Meanwhile, a number of innovative processes for more efficient and energy-saving SMR process have been investigated. In this case, an examination of the influence of catalyst supports on the catalytic SMR is presented to gain a useful understanding of the impacts of supports on the SMR. This review is design to give a brief summary on methane steam reforming reaction, its thermodynamics and kinetics and finally the influence of support materials on the activity of noble and non-noble active metals used in SMR.
