e.g., Ni, Cu, Ru. The may be extracted from the atmosphere, the ocean, or by direct capturing of at the source of emission such as automobiles, houses, chimneys and smokestacks. The molten salt transmutator operating temperature range is 250 -1000 thus ideally situated to supply continuously the necessary temperature required to drive the Sabatier reaction to produce methane, and provide an effective pathway to stabilize and reduce the concentration in the atmosphere and the ocean. The byproducts of methane combustion are energy, , and water, the may be potentially back-extracted and recycled to generate methane, thus closing the cycle. Compared to other fossil fuels the combustion of methane releases fewer byproducts and methane has about twice the energy density of coal (56 MJ/kg compared to 30 MJ/kg).
