Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for producing hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of hydrogen and methanogen/s, the methanogen/s is/are provided in an aqueous growth substrate and the aqueous growth substrate is pressurized to a pressure of from 5 to 1000 bar with a pressurizing fluid containing or comprising carbon dioxide. In an embodiment of the invention, a cathode is provided to generate hydrogen and also to control the pH of the aqueous growth substrate. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
