Abstract
A method for recycling CO2 from CO2 containing inputs to produce hydrocarbon products includes the steps of (i) capturing CO2 from at least one CO2 containing input, at least one of the at least one CO2 containing input including 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; and (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).
Claims10
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;
- (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;
- (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,
- wherein the first waste output is incinerated or gasified to provide one of the at least one CO2 containing inputs for step (i).
