    Abstract: A process for reducing an organic material to produce methane and/or hydrogen is disclosed. The process comprises: (a) contacting the organic material with an excess amount of hydrogen gas in an enclosed reduction chamber at ambient temperature, wherein the reduction chamber is substantially free of oxygen, and heating the reduction chamber to cause a temperature increase in the organic material from ambient temperature to up to 425°C at a rate of up to about 8°C per minute, under positive pressure, to form a first gaseous mixture comprising methane, hydrogen, acid, and partially reduced volatile organic molecules; (b) heating the first gaseous mixture to a temperature of about 675°C to about 875°C in the presence of an excess amount of hydrogen gas to form a second gaseous mixture comprising methane, hydrogen, and acid; and (c) neutralizing the second gaseous mixture with a base. In another aspect, the process comprises: (a1) contacting the organic material with an excess amount of hydrogen gas in an enclosed reduction chamber at ambient temperature, wherein the reduction chamber is substantially free of oxygen, and heating the reduction chamber to cause a temperature increase in the organic material from ambient temperature to up to 425°C at a rate of up to about 8°C per minute, under positive pressure, to form a first gaseous mixture comprising methane, hydrogen, acid, and partially reduced volatile organic molecules; and (b1) neutralizing the first gaseous mixture with a base.
