Abstract:
A method of producing heat for industrial purposes such as power generation can use at least one, if not two exothermic reactions. First, methane may be produced from carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a reactor. This reaction produces heat. The methane may be burned, or oxidized (which is also an exothermic reaction) to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Oxygen and/or hydrogen may supplement the process as could be produced from the electrolysis of water. Carbon dioxide may be obtained from a variety of sources.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of heat generation and producing methane comprising the steps of:\n (a) providing hydrogen and carbon dioxide to a reactor; (b) exothermically reacting the hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the reactor to form methane, water and heat; (c) separating the methane from the water; and (d) at least one of the following steps:\n (i) using the heat from the reactor for an industrial process selected from the group of generating power in a turbine and heating; \n (ii) burning the methane for an industrial process selected from the group of generating power in a turbine and heating; and \n (iii) oxidizing the methane of step (b) in an exothermic reaction to produce at least carbon dioxide and hydrogen, at least one of which is used to repeat step (a) above, and heat, said heat used for an industrial process selected from the group of generating power in a turbine and heating.
