Methane Economy

Methane is not only about to leak from the oceans and tundra's into the atmosphere as well as being fracked from our soil, it is also one of the fuels that can be made using electricity, solar and thermal energy (probably why it occurs in nature so abundantly).


Sabatier process

Methane from wind (electric)

Methane from sunlight

Craig A. Grimes, professor of electrical engineering and his team used titanium dioxide nanotubes doped with nitrogen and coated with a thin layer of both copper and platinum to convert a mixture of carbon dioxide and water vapor to methane. Using outdoor, visible light, they reported a 20-times higher yield of methane than previously published attempts conducted in laboratory conditions using intense ultraviolet exposures.
