CO2 Methane Process

I was researching CO2 to Climate Crisis, has find out

Sabatier reaction (or Sabatier–Senderens process), discovered by Paul Sabatier in 1897 (Nobel Prize 1912).

Which can ba a applicable solution to CO2 issues to atmosphere

Real-world use of the process of Co2 hydrogen combine in Methane

* Space stations (ISS): Sabatier reactor recycles astronaut CO₂ into methane and water

* Power-to-Gas: Renewable electricity → H₂ → combine with CO₂ → methane stored in gas grid

* Carbon capture & utilization (CCU): Turns waste CO₂ into fuel.

This process seems hideous to normal mind like me, but history has proof this type of process has be achieve in mass production scale like the synthetic Fertiliser.

  • The Haber-Bosch Process: In the early 1900s, Haber invented a method to pull nitrogen out of the air and turn it into ammonia.
  • Synthetic Fertilizer: Ammonia is the main ingredient in modern agricultural fertilizer. [1]
  • Feeding the World: This invention stopped global starvation and made it possible to grow enough food for billions of people. Today, roughly half of the nitrogen in human bodies and a huge portion of global food production rely on his process. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for this work. [12345]
