It is a little known fact that CO2 can be converted into Methane. Years 

ago this was expensive and quite a difficult reaction to perform, 

involving very high pressure and temperature reaction chambers together 

with exotic catalysts. However,over the years since "Sabatier" 

discovered how to perform this remarkable feat, fuel and chemical 

refiners have developed a lower cost approach. But fairly high 

temperatures are still required, making the process expensive. 

Fortunately, there is considerable waste heat available at the exhaust 

manifold of your Engine to supplant some of this cost. Additional heat 

is also required in order to re-arrange the molecules back into fuel, 

this is where a stream of hydrogen from an out side source such as your 

gasifier will help, as will super heated distilled water. The 

additional heat can be provided by a plasma produced by an arc or an 

electrode less plasma produced by Electromagnetic means. nothing more 

than 2kw.

generator (20kWe)



















Hello to all,



 



Does anybody have an idea of the CO2 emission after generator?



For comparison, a diesel generator of this size (20kWe) has a rate of 

about 1,1 kgeqCO2/kWh.



 



Thanks 



Regards



 



Jeremy

Jeremy and all







Both gasoline and diesel are approximately -CH2- chained together. 

Their combustion can be written



 



CH2 + 3/2(O2 + 3.76 N2) ==> CO2 + H2O + 5.64 N2



M 14.                    44.   18      158.       220







So the all important Air/Fuel, A/F ratio is 220 /14= 15.7







The ratio is often given as 14.7. Maybe this is due to the presence of 

unsaturated and aromatics with lower H/C ratios.







The oxygen sensor is capable of measuring very small amounts of 

unburned fuel or oxygen in the exhaust and adjusting the A/F ratio for 

perfect combustion. 







Diesel combustion is always lean.







Lucky us that our cars are so clean.
