Announcing a technology that efficiently converts CO2 into large amounts of methane gas in just one second!
I was blown away when I read the Nikkei newspaper this morning!!
Technology to convert CO2 into fuel gas Custom-built homes in Kobe
Even in Germany, an environmentally advanced country, environmental technology is still several decades away.
There is something called power to gas.
In the future, the proportion of electricity generated by renewable energy sources will exceed 50%.
When the amount of electricity generated is too high, will we rely on the storage battery?
Instead, they are electrolyzed to produce hydrogen. Then, the hydrogen and the captured CO2 are
The gas will be converted into methane through a chemical reaction and reused through existing gas pipes.
It is truly the ultimate energy circulation system.
However, the chemical reaction for methanation has been inefficient to date, making it difficult to put into practical use.
It seems that it was not there.
This time it says that it is possible to produce a large amount of methane gas in just one second.
It says that heating is required, but the energy required for this heating is
The most important thing is how much it will cost, but this is common sense.
If it fits within the range, this is worth 10 Nobel Prizes.
I think it's the technology.
The battery technology of Sumitomo Electric Industries, the technology of this company called Cataler,
These are absolutely essential technologies for the entire world in the future.
I am truly happy and proud that both of these things are being born in Japan.
