The options include chemical flooding, thermal/steam injection, and CO 2 injection. [2] [6] One of the criteria for determining if CO 2 flooding is a candidate for the recovery of oil from the formation is the pressure of the formation. The miscibility of the CO 2 and the crude oil is dependent upon the pressure and the temperature.
CO2RR can produce diverse compounds including formate (HCOO-), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH 4), ethylene (C 2 H 4), and ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH). [2] The main challenges are the relatively high cost of electricity (vs petroleum) and that CO 2 is often contaminated with O 2 and must be purified before reduction.
Methanation is the conversion of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (CO x) to methane (CH 4) through hydrogenation. The methanation reactions of CO x were first discovered by Sabatier and Senderens in 1902. [1] CO x methanation has many practical applications.

Enhanced coal bed methane recovery is a method of producing additional coalbed methane from a source rock, similar to enhanced oil recovery applied to oil fields. Carbon dioxide (CO 2) injected into a bituminous coal bed would occupy pore space and also adsorb onto the carbon in the coal at approximately twice the rate of methane (CH 4), allowing for potential enhanced gas recovery.

It involves injection of a gaseous oxidizing agent, usually oxygen or air, and bringing the resulting product gas to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface. The product gas can be used as a chemical feedstock or as fuel for power generation. The technique can be applied to resources that are otherwise not economical to ...
A Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC) is a fuel cell that uses a carbon rich material as a fuel such as bio-mass [1] or coal. [2] The cell produces energy by combining carbon and oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide as a by-product. [3] It is also called coal fuel cells (CFCs), carbon-air fuel cells (CAFCs), direct carbon/coal fuel cells (DCFCs ...
Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. 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 [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
