Methane reduction Idea

[Imagine Everything]

Yep me again lol,

This is a thought around spring/summertime this year, I have no idea if it would work, can work or would indeed be useful or more of a hindrance.

I'm not looking for validation and I offer this freely to anyone & everyone that might or can make use of it (if it works) as it might help our dear planet Earthy' to repair itself a bit or at least maybe calm down a bit of global warming.

That's the thought behind it anyway, nothing else, not new science or particles or anything else. Just hopefully a way to help ourselves and our planet.

I'm also not going to concentrate on it as I am currenty extremely busy on my other post.

So could this work to help reduce methane and use the resulting Carbon Dioxide for industrial use?

The idea is an underwater structure made of or surrounding an inner Zeolite structure.

Perhaps the structure could somehow allow seawater to traverse into the structure surrounding the zeolite structure (like stemming the flow on a hosepipe with your thumb) and cause preesure/energy to power this process. I don't know, just thinking out loud I guess.

Maybe placed on the sea bed itself or hung somehow (from a buoy?) above something like a mud volcano

If this structure was placed in the sea, could the energy/power from the sea current/s power this process and make it even more environmental friendly.?

The zeolite would capture methane from the sea/bed, perhaps even from mud volcanoes if it was placed near enough and process it into Carbon Dioxide.

The resulting Carbon Dioxide could then be extracted perhaps to be used industrially.

I state that I do not know the impact of creating more Carbon Dioxide, I'm just wondering if by converting the methane into this, perhaps it could be used instead of just heating up the globe as it does inside methane.

I did read that Carbon Dioxide is less harmful than Methane in on of the above links.

 

No doubt this is a very rough idea and I dont claim it to be anything other than that, hopefully you'll get the gist of it though.

I don't think or claim that if this works, that it would sort the whole globe out, if it does work, it would no doubt just be a tiny cog in a very big wheel that's desperately needed to do that.

Thanks for reading this anyway, feel free to move this to trash if you think it should belong there, I'm cool with that and don't mean to upset this forum in anyway.

 

Even if it doesn't work, maybe it will trigger one you very very clever people into finding another way that can help with global wamring solutions.

Back to studying now
