Cover Story: CO2 trapping and methanation allow us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and recycle CO2 into a sustainable fuel, provided renewable H2 is employed. Microwave (MW)-based reactors provide an efficient means to use electrical energy for upgrading chemicals, since MW can selectively heat up the load placed in the reactor and not the reactor itself. In this study, CO2 capture and methanation were investigated using solid adsorbents (ZrO2 and Fe3O4), microwave absorbers (SiC and Fe3O4) and Ru/SiO2 as CO2, the methanation catalyst. The sorption and catalyst beds were located in a domestic MW oven that was used to trigger CO2 desorption and methanation in the presence of H2. View this paper
