The behavior of metallic structured perovskite-based catalysts was evaluated in the combined methane reforming reaction with CO<sub>2</sub>-O<sub>2</sub>. The reaction conditions were established by varying the reaction temperature and reactor input composition in the range of 650 to 850℃ and CH<sub>4</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> ratio 1 to 5, respectively. The results of the catalytic tests at 750℃ showed a positive effect of the metallic structure, producing higher conversions and H<sub>2</sub>/CO ratios in the products compare to that obtained with the powder catalyst.
