ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a novel process for producing low cost energy, hydrogen, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxygen by reacting carbon dioxide and water over a catalyst complex to form low cost energy, various weight hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and hydrogen which may be used as fuels or for other purposes. The low cost energy results from the heat generated by the exothermic nature of the reaction and is evidenced by the increased temperature of the reactor during the reaction. Said catalyst complex is made from a hydrated magnesium carbonate/hydroxide complex and a catalyst support. The reactants are carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is intended to be used at sites where excess steam, heat or carbon dioxide are produced and are readily available. The recycle of these otherwise excess "waste" products can be economically advantageous by producing useful products and be environmentally advantageous by reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and thermal exhaust. Moreover, if desired, a fuel may be added to the process, e.g., coal, to further the production of organics.
