1. A structured catalyst for catalyzing an endothermic reaction of a feed gas to convert it to a product gas, said structured catalyst comprising at least one macroscopic structure of an electrically conductive material and at least one connector attached to the at least one macroscopic structure, wherein the macroscopic structure supports a catalytically active material, the macroscopic structure extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end, where said first end forms an inlet to said macroscopic structure for said feed gas and said second end forms an outlet for said product gas, said macroscopic structure comprising a circumferential wall encircling an internal space, wherein the connector comprises first engagement means for engaging an outer surface of the circumferential wall of a first macroscopic structure, wherein the engagement means has an inner surface with a shape matching at least a part of the outer surface of the circumferential wall, wherein the engagement means is attached to the outer surface of the circumferential wall by an interference fit, wherein the structured catalyst comprises at least two macroscopic structures, wherein the connector comprises at least two engagement means each engaging one of said macroscopic structures, and wherein the inner surfaces of said engagement means are arranged so as to allow said macroscopic structures to extend parallel to the longitudinal direction.
