Abstract
A method of producing a synthetic diamond is disclosed, the method comprising: (a) capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; (b) conducting electrolysis of water to provide hydrogen; (c) reacting the carbon dioxide obtained from step (a) with the hydrogen obtained from step (b) to produce methane; and (d) using the hydrogen obtained from step (b) and the methane obtained from step (c) to produce a synthetic diamond by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

A method of producing a synthetic diamond, the method comprising:
- (a) capturing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere;
- (b) performing electrolysis of water to provide hydrogen;
- (c-1) electrochemically reacting the carbon dioxide obtained from step (a) with water to produce methane;
- and
- (d) using the hydrogen obtained from step (b) and the methane obtained from step (c-1) to produce the synthetic diamond by chemical vapour deposition (CVD);
- and
- (e) reacting oxygen produced from the electrolysis of the water in step (b) with carbon emissions produced by the chemical vapour deposition in step (d) to produce carbon dioxide.
