	abstract = "In this study, a Pd catalyst was prepared with promoters such as CeO<SUB>2</SUB>, BaO and SrO in a washcoated form on a metallic monolith for autothermal reforming of methane to syngas for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. A reactor was installed with an electric heater in the form of the metallic monolith as a start-up device instead of a burner with which stable and fast start-ups (within 4 min) were achieved. Gas hourly space velocity and O<SUB>2</SUB>/CH<SUB>4</SUB> governed methane conversion, while H<SUB>2</SUB>O/CH<SUB>4</SUB> controlled H<SUB>2</SUB>/CO ratio. A methane conversion of approx. 96%, H<SUB>2</SUB> + CO selectivity of approx. 85%, and H<SUB>2</SUB>/CO of approx. 2.6 were obtained under the conditions of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) at 103 000 h<SUP>&#8722;1</SUP>, O<SUB>2</SUB>/CH<SUB>4</SUB> = 0.7 and H<SUB>2</SUB>O/CH<SUB>4</SUB> = 0.35.",
