- The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research scientists have found the cheapest carbon dioxide conversion process.
- This magnesium-assisted process mixes carbon dioxide, water and magnesium, at room temperature and pressure to get methane, methanol, formic acid and some hydrogen.
- Magnesium carbonate is the by product.
- It is used in the production of green cement and in the pharma industry.
- With this process, one can make methane on Mars.
- This is because,
- Mars’s atmosphere is almost entirely comprised of carbon dioxide.
- Mars has water in the form of ice.
- Its soil contains an abundance of magnesium.
