This report describes the work accomplished during a program to investigate the feasibility of converting wind energy to methane gas. The basic approach consists of using off-shore winds to drive generators which supply electricity to electrolysis cells. Electrolysis of distilled sea water produces hydrogen. Carbon dioxide is derived from underwater carbonate deposits. These gases are combined to form methane. The methane gas produced by the process can be used in existing natural gasburning equipment, thus conserving a valuable capital investment.
