  • Process for the biological generation of methane
    Patent number: 8323938
    Abstract: A process is specified for the biological generation of methane (CH4), which process is firstly environmentally friendly and inexpensive, and secondly avoids the use of fossil deposits. The process is divided into two steps, wherein first hydrogen (H2)and oxygen (O2) are generated from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) by algae with the action of light. In the second step, methane (CH4) is isolated by methanogenesis bacteria from the hydrogen (H2) which is generated and from carbon dioxide (CO2). To increase the yield of the process, interfering intracellular oxygen (O2) can be bound in the algae and/or in the methanogenesis bacteria.
