Reaction of Sabatier

The reaction of Sabatier implies the reaction of the Hydrogène (H2) and of the Carbon dioxide (CO2) at temperatures and pressures raised in the presence of a Catalyseur of Nickel in order to produce Méthane and Eau.
Le process was discovered by the French chemist Paul Sabatier.

A catalyst containing Ruthénium on Alumine makes the reaction more effective.

It is described by the following reaction: CO2 + 4:00 2 → CH4 + 2:00 2O

This process could be a key stage of the exploration of Mars by the Man (Project Direct Mars) by taking hydrogen transported since the ground and of carbon dioxide present in great quantity in the Martian atmosphere. Produced methane could then be employed like fuel being used for the propulsion of a rocket. This would have like consequence to limit considerably the weight of the rockets for Mars.
