Bacteria that convert CO2 into methane
A process that occurs naturally in the subsoil due to bacteria that transform carbon dioxide into methane over billions of years could be used in an experimental project developed by Japanese scientists who plan to capture the CO2 with special installations underground and turn it into methane in about one hundred years by accelerating the action of bacteria that normally carry out this action. In the past, were already running other technologies to convert carbon dioxide into calcite or gas useful for manufacturing processes, moreover there are already plants for capturing and storing CO2 underground (according to some hazardous in case of earthquakes for leaks not controlled), large pools with algae selected and ample land on which were has been used very special plants that transform carbon dioxide into oxygen as happen for the forests.
