Basics
- Methanation is the conversion of carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide to Methane through Hydrogenation
- Can be used to turn Hydrogen into Methane for fuel applications
- This has the advantage of no risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement, and more "Conventional Support" (ie there are many OTS vehicles, generators, and tanks designed for CNG usage)
Methods
Biological
- Microbial Methanation wherein organisms are "Fed" hydrogen to produce methane
- The microrganism act as the catalyst, and allow for ambient reactor conditions, unlike the Sabatier Reaction
- Also given Anerobic Digestion produces CO2 as a waste product, they support eachother well
- Need to look up organisms used, bioreactor design etc
