Title:
LARGE SCALE GREEN MANUFACTURING OF METHANE USING PLASMA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/059220
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and system for converting waste using plasma into methane. The method uses minimal fossil fuel, and therefore produces a minimal carbon footprint when compared to conventional processes. The method includes the steps of supplying a biomass material to a plasma melter; supplying electrical energy to the plasma melter; supplying steam to the plasma melter; extracting a syngas from the plasma melter; extracting hydrogen from the syngas; and forming methane from the hydrogen produced in the step of extracting hydrogen.
