METHOD FOR SEPARATING CO2 FROM WASTE GASES, CONVERTING IT TO CH4 AND STORING BOTH OUTSIDE THE ATMOSPHERE AND METHANE PRODUCED BY THIS METHOD

摘要

The CO2 is separated from waste gases by known technical means and stored in the underground (see drawing). By additions to the CO2, according to the invention, of H2 or NH3, methano-genic bacteria, bacteria substrate, catalysators and/or inhibitors the CO2 is reduced during the underground sto-rage to CH4. The storage is possible in aquifers, natural gas reservoirs or oil and/or gas generating rock formations. Due to the equal volumes of CO2 and CH4 the process is a closed cycle and of constant pressure. Natural gas becomes a renewable energy.
