1. A process for producing syngas, wherein the process comprises: introducing a mixture of H2 and CO2 to a first catalytic reactor that has an inside surface and an outside surface, wherein the inside surface of the first catalytic reactor is coated with magnesium aluminate or yttria-stabilized zirconia which does not react with H2, CO or CO2, and wherein the outside surface of the first catalytic reactor has been insulated to minimize heat loss for adiabatic operation
thereby producing syngas.
