I feel that this research is very important. The capture and storage of carbon dioxide in exhausted natural gas reservoirs is possible cheap and easy by reaction of the methane to carbon monoxide and hydrogen. A subsequent carbon monoxide shift conversion leads to carbon dioxide, which can easily be separated from hydrogen by absorption in aqueous solution employing a pressure schwing.

Presently, the reaction of methane to carbon monoxide and hydrogen asks for pure oxygen, which brings about that the process is relatively expensive in spite of the fact that the technology has been extremely well developed. Reaction of methane to carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which is not diluted with nitrogen, without the need for pure oxygen is therefore an important issue.

Congratulations with your research, Prof. John W. Geus
