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.
Methanation is an important step in the creation of synthetic or substitute natural gas (SNG). [7] Coal or wood undergo gasification which creates a producer gas that must undergo methanation in order to produce a usable gas that just needs to undergo a final purification step.
Carbon-neutral fuel is fuel which produces no net-greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprint.In practice, this usually means fuels that are made using carbon dioxide (CO 2) as a feedstock.
Hydrogenation occurred at a high temperature and pressure, with syngas produced in a separate gasifier. The process ultimately yielded a synthetic crude product, Naphtha , a limited amount of C 3 /C 4 gas, light-medium weight liquids (C 5 -C 10 ) suitable for use as fuels, small amounts of NH 3 and significant amounts of CO 2 .

Illustrating inputs and outputs of steam reforming of natural gas, a process to produce hydrogen and CO 2 greenhouse gas that may be captured with CCS. Steam reforming or steam methane reforming (SMR) is a method for producing syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reaction of hydrocarbons with water.
Carbon dioxide reforming (also known as dry reforming) is a method of producing synthesis gas (mixtures of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) from the reaction of carbon dioxide with hydrocarbons such as methane with the aid of metal catalysts (typically Ni or Ni alloys).
The concept of a society that uses hydrogen as the primary means of energy storage was theorized by geneticist J. B. S. Haldane in 1923. Anticipating the exhaustion of Britain's coal reserves for power generation, Haldane proposed a network of wind turbines to produce hydrogen and oxygen for long-term energy storage through electrolysis, to help address renewable power's variable output.

Temperature dependence of the free molar (Gibbs) enthalpy and equilibrium constant of the water-gas shift reaction. With increasing temperature, the reaction rate increases, but hydrogen production becomes less favorable thermodynamically [ 5 ] since the water gas shift reaction is moderately exothermic ; this shift in chemical equilibrium can ...
