[Gasification] conversion of CO2 into methane (Off Topic)

[Anand Karve]

Dear List,
I initiated this topic and I too would like the discussion to be kept
on list. There may be some who see a business opportunity or potential
for patenting in this topic, and therefore want to keep it off list,
but the question posed by me was of fundamental nature, and therefore
the discussion should remain on list.
Yours
A.D.Karve
