Abstract: Hydrogenation of CO2 to produce synthetic methane is a promising alternative to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels of high-temperature industrial processes hard to be electrified, contributing to mitigation of global warming. To reach enough conversion ratios and reasonable reactor sizes, the Sabatier reaction is usually performed via heterogeneous catalysis. Metallic catalysts, as nickel or ruthenium, are the most used supported over mesoporous alumina.
