Method and system for carbon capture and recycling

A method for recycling CO2 from CO2 containing inputs to produce hydrocarbon products, the method including the steps of:

• (i) capturing CO2 from at least one CO2 containing input, wherein one of the at least one CO2 containing input includes air;
• (ii) producing a CO2 feed stream from the captured CO2;
• (iii) reacting the CO2 feed stream with a H2 feed stream to produce a methane containing output;
• (iv) separating the methane containing output so as to at least provide methane and a first waste output, wherein the first waste output is incinerated or gasified to provide one of the at least one CO2 containing inputs for step (i);
• (v) processing methane from the methane containing output to produce an acetylene containing output;
• and
• (vi) separating the acetylene containing output so as to at least provide acetylene and a second waste output.
