What I really like with these sort of approaches is that some of the waste heat is (in an indirect way) being utilised to improve the chemistry.

If you want to make your own syngas catalyst do what the oil companies do. Expose the heavier fuel to a catalyst like platinum or palladium such as found in an catalytic converter within an oxygen starved, to oxygen free environment.
