Currently, scientists are pursuing new methods of battling the ongoing problem of global warming such as reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and creating less harmful energy production. While this is occurring today with scientists inventing new ways for cleaner energy and pollution control, these methods aren’t mainstream and are cost-inefficient. A clear solution to solving the global warming problem is removing its main contributors with the methanation process. The methanation process, or the Sabatier process or reaction consists of chemically converting hydrogen and carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, the major pollutants today, into water and methane. With carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide as the main pollutants, the Sabatier reaction is perfect to negate the effects of global warming’s greatest agents. Scientists could use the small chunks of renewable energy to power this chemical reaction, and to create hydrogen, since it is difficult to find in a pure form, scientists could utilize electrolysis, the process of using electricity to separate water molecules. The methane, which is a natural gas, fabricated in the methanation reaction would be burnt for energy into carbon dioxide, creating a cycle of the Sabatier reaction and methane burning and lowering carbon dioxide levels since “. . . burning natural gas . …show more content…
First of all, the use of Sabatier’s process would, of course, have to become popular enough that it is used on a global scale, and since the reactors for this permutation of atoms require energy, money, and time, the best scenario would be to have funding by the countries in the international United Nations. After this, most of the reactors should be placed and operated in industrial factories producing carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and areas with high percentages of carbon dioxide levels such as “eastern China . . . eastern United States, Central Europe, the Middle East, and Japan” (), while other reactors will be disseminated globally in spread out areas. Once these processes have betided for many years, the UN could continue to render and use the reactors until the use of renewable energy is popularized more than the burning of fossil fuels and the elimination of most carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. With this, the reactors causing the methanation process would become a long and transitory solution until the majority of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide is eradicated and renewable energy is produced, essentially becoming a method to ceasing global warming for good and stopping it from recurring. If higher powers are able to use this incredible chemical reaction
