As stock of crude oil is limited, new resources for fuel and petrochemicals are required to be developed. Natural gas or biogas can be easily converted into methanol which can be converted into gasoline and olefins. This study uses zeolite catalyst (ZSM-5) and its modification by Ni to convert methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH). Catalysts are studied at different temperatures and at different loadings of Ni for their performance in the MTH reaction. Modified ZSM-5 catalysts are characterized by XRD and BET. It was found that 8% Ni-ZSM-5 catalyst gives better results at 723K.
