(2010-08-07) CO to Propane Using Vanadium Nitrogenase
Vanadium nitrogenase, an enzyme that normally produces ammonia from nitrogen gas, can also convert carbon monoxide (CO), a common industrial byproduct, into propane, the blue-flamed gas found on stoves across America.

(2009-12-26) Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction
he Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction (RWGS reaction) was discovered in the 19th century as a method of producing water from carbon dioxide and hydrogen, with carbon monoxide as a side product. In the context of human missions to Mars, it has been proposed as a complement to the Sabatier/water electrolysis (SE) process to produce methane and oxygen from hydrogen and carbon dioxide on the surface. Alternatively, it can be used with water electrolysis to generate carbon monoxide and oxygen. The oxygen is used for breathing or as oxidizer, while the carbon monoxide can be used as a moderate specific-impulse fuel (with oxygen as the oxidizer) or as a feedstock to generate higher hydrocarbons (see Fischer-Tropsch reaction)

(2001-01-20) Carbon Dioxide Conversions in Microreactors
Chemical processing plants must find new ways to remove and process CO2 from their product streams. Two possible methods for these conversions include Sabatier methanation and the reverse water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. The applicability of these reactions in microreactors is discussed in the linked PDF.

(2009-10-20) The Methane Economy
A recent advance by a team of researchers at the University of NSW has pointed the way forward. Their work combined with two other technologies can lead to a method of producing methane, methanol or diesel fuel from sunlight, water and air.

(2010-10-20) Using Sabatier Process to Upgrade Biogas
I. Introduction: The Sabatier Reaction The Sabatier Reaction1 was discovered in 1912 by French chemist Paul Sabatier and it is as follows: CO2 + 4H2 -----> CH4 + 2H2O. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)1 and its subcontractor, United Technologies Corporation2 are investigating the use of the Sabatier Reaction for recover from exhaled carbon dioxide, for use on the International Space Station and on future Mars3 expeditions. The other resulting chemical, methane, would most likely be dumped overboard. As half of the input becomes wasted as methane, additional hydrogen would needed to be supplied from Earth to make up the difference. However, this creates a nearly closed cycle between water, oxygen and carbon dioxide which requires a relatively modest amount of imported hydrogen to maintain. Another reaction being investigated by NASA for the same purpose is the Bosch Reaction4 discovered in 1931 by the German chemist Carl Bosch and is as follows: CO2 + 2H2 -----> C + 2H2O. The purpose of this discussion is to propose the Sabatier Process for upgrading of the methane produced by anaerobic digestion and methanation of the carbon dioxide produced as well as recycled carbon dioxide with hydrogen from electrolysis5 of recycled water and water from a dehumidifier6.

(2012-10-20) Solar Application By Clean Hydrogen Group
The CHP Solar Water Cracker is a system which concentrates sunlight to heat a furnace to the point where it splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be sold or run through a fuel cell to generate energy. This energy can then be sold back to the grid.
