This new method stores hydrogen energy. A mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide is converted in a reactor, to methane, methanol or ethanol. Preferably, the carbon dioxide is recovered from fossil-fuel plants, from natural gas and crude oil production and exploration. It may be recovered from flue- or process gases using molecular sieves. The hydrogen is recovered from natural gas, by steam reforming. Alternatively water power, nuclear energy or microwave energy are used. Further sources include treatment of steam, methane-containing gases, water or heavy water, with energy of solar-, or nuclear origins, optionally in silent electrical discharge.
