Methanol to gasoline (MTG) process is among the methanol to hydrocarbon (MTH) technologies with
industrial interest. The key sequential routes involved syngas (H2, CO) production, methanol synthesis
and the subsequent upgrade to gasoline range paraffins via the MTG process. The paper reviewed recent
literature on prospective catalysts for the MTG technology. Issues related to the role of catalyst-topology,
acidity properties, reaction parameters and their effects on catalytic activity, selectivity and catalyst
lifetime have been critically covered. The review also captured background details on the updates related
to the syngas production and subsequent upgrade to methanol prior to the MTG reaction.
