The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa ) in the presence of a nickel catalyst. It was discovered by the French chemists Paul Sabatier and Jean-Baptiste Senderens in 1897. Optionally, ruthenium on alumina (aluminium oxide) makes a more efficient catalyst. It is described by the following exothermic reaction:
There is disagreement on whether th...
SpaceX has stated its ambition to facilitate the colonization of Mars via the development of the Starship launch vehicle. The company claims that this is necessary for the long-term survival of the human species and that its Mars program will reduce space transportation costs, thereby making travel to Mars a more realistic possibility.
Elon Musk, who founded SpaceX, first presented his goal of enabling Mars colonization in 2001 as a member of the Mars Society's board of directors. In the 2000s...
“To produce methane on earth” on the vastest scale may be as simple as failing to develop AWE as an effective countermeasure to global warming, so that vast amounts of methane are released from arctic and ocean methane clathrate deposits, and it may already be too late.
Methane clathrate (CH4·5.75H2O) or (4CH4·23H2O), also called methane hydrate, hydromethane, methane ice, fire ice, natural gas hydrate, or gas hydrate, is a solid clathrate compound (more specifically, a clathrate hydrate) in which a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice. Originally thought to occur only in the outer regions of the Solar System, where temperatures are low and water ice is common, significant deposits of met Methane ...
