However, there are many limits to the use of carbon monoxide due to its hard controlling, high toxicity and easy to explosion in storage and transportation. Therefore, for decades, chemists have tried to find a new C1 source as a substitute of CO. Recently, methyl formate as a liquid C1 source came into our eyes. In this paper, quantum chemistry ab initio methods are employed to study the dissociation of methyl formate in two ways:1) CO and CH3OH (reaction 1) and 2) CO2 and CH4 (reaction 2). The active barriers, Gibbs free energies and reaction enthalpies at various levels are calculated and compared with available experimental results. The results suggest that 1) reaction 1 is a simple element reaction, in which one transition state is found; while reaction 2 is a two-step reaction, in which two transition states are found. 2) the geometries of the reactants, products and transition states for both reactions are similar at various calculation levels, and in consistent with available experimental values. However, the differences of calculation energies are large relatively, which implies that the correlation energy is very important. 3) High accuracy G2 calculations are in good
