Natural Gas Underground to Hydrogen without CO2 Exhaust

特許 係属中 This patent-pending technology is a process to convert natural gas (NG) underground to Hydrogen (H2) or electricity with minimal air pollution. The NG does not need to be put into any pipeline. Fracking, and its related problems, is not necessary. Coal bed methane is also covered in the pending patent. Stranded NG may be converted to H2, which has a market, particularly to refineries. It may be possible in some instances to get CO2 credits, since the technology almost eliminates CO2 release to the atmosphere.

It has a couple dozen important claims. The prior art study is very favorable. Intellectual property priority date for all jurisdcictions is 2006. English translation of the Chinese patent title is: "Generating Power from Hydrocarbon Deposits While Capturing Carbon Dioxide"
