methane gas recovery | |||||||||||||||||
If you wanted to use methane from landfill it would be a dirty prospect due to high carbon dioxide levels. Now if you were first to capture the gas and send it to the bottom of a deep pool of water and let it bubble up to the top it would be a natural kind of carbon scrubber. You are left with a high carbon concentration in the water. So if you let the water sit around in a pool of water it would create an algae that could be transformed into a bio fuel. Then drill a well about six thousand feet deep and dump the water into it and it would eventually turn back into oil. The methane is more pure and can be compressed and used as a natural gas.

There are already systems used to collect methane from land fills. There are methods to separate the methane from the CO2, but usually they don't bother. A mixture of methane and CO2 will burn very cleanly. When methane (CH4) burns, it turns into CO2 and water, so if you want to capture the CO2, you should do it after the methane is burned.
I always thought that when you put CO2 into water, it formed carbonated water. H20 and CO2 make H2CO3. Also, called 'carbonic acid,' I've yet to see it turn into oil. I am addicted to drinks involving it, but I'm not drinking oil. Perrier is natural H2CO3.
I can't see algea growing in soda water either. Are you sure?
