TL;DR: The technology of converting non-fossil, renewable carbon to methane reduces itself to two major acititivies: growth of biomass, which is produced by conversion of solar energy to chemical energy, and gasification of this biomass.
Abstract: Creating a perpetual methane economy and perpetuating the natural gas industry as a marketer of methane lies in converting to substitute natural gas (SNG), a major source of continuously renewable nonfossil carbon, the biomass produced by photosynthesis. This is technically reasonable. The technology of converting nonfossil, renewable carbon to methane reduces itself to two major acititivies: growth of biomass, which is produced by conversion of solar energy to chemical energy, and gasification of this biomass. Photosynthesis and gasification were discussed. 8 figures, 11 tables. (DP)

TL;DR: In this article, a patent application for patent protection provides the ability to produce clean syngas, natural gas, synthetic fuels, electricity, hydrogen fuels, and oil substitutes using a variety of materials.
Abstract: The system contained within this application for patent protection provides the ability to produce clean syngas, natural gas, synthetic fuels, electricity, hydrogen fuels, and oil substitutes using a variety of materials. These materials include, but are not limited to: coal, biomass (including but not limited to municipal solid wastes), and agricultural byproducts. The fuels and electricity generated by this system can immediately be utilized by existing power and transportation grids, and as such, allow for rapid integration into the nation's energy needs. The system also removes and sequesters carbon dioxide, creating a clean, environmentally responsible supply of multiple types of power. The overall process provides an alternative to current oil and power solutions, allowing for domestic production of various energy requirements, creating the possibility for the reduced dependence on foreign imports for energy needs.
