Electromethanogenesis is a form of electrofuel production where methane is produced by direct biological conversion from electrical current and carbon dioxide.[1][2][3]

Figure 1: Example of a two-chamber methane-producing system where electromethanogenesis takes place.

Methane producing technologies garnered interest from the scientific community prior to 2000, but electromethanogenesis did not become a significant area of interest until 2008.[4] Publications concerning catalytic methanation have increased from 44 to over 130 since 2008.[4]

Electromethanogenesis has drawn more research due to its proposed applications.[4] The production of methane from electrical current may provide an approach to renewable energy storage.[1][5] Electrical current produced from renewable energy sources may, through electromethanogenesis, be converted into methane which may then be used as a biofuel.[1][5] It may also be a useful method for the capture of carbon dioxide which may be used for air purification.[1]

This technique can follow two different mechanisms--biotic or abiotic.[6][5][1] The biotic mechanism involves direct electron transfer and utilizes a microbial electrolysis cell to carry out the mechanism.[7][4][1][5] The abiotic mechanism involves mediated electron transfer and utilizes an electrochemical system for carrying out the mechanism.[6] Each mechanism involves the reduction of carbon dioxide to methane.[4][1][5][6] This reduction is facilitated by an electrical current at the biocathode in the microbial electrolysis cell or electrochemical system.[4][1][5] Electrons are transferred from the biocathodes via direct electron transfer or using hydrogen as an intermediate.[4][6] See Figure 1 for an example of a bioelectrochemical system where electromethanogenesis could be facilitated.

Research can still be done in the field of electromethanogenesis. One limitation to electromethanogenesis is energy loss in methane-producing bioelectrochemical systems.[4][6] This occurs as a result of overpotentials occurring at the anode, membrane, and cathode.[4][6] Another problem with the technique is the mass transfer of substrates to, and products away from, the electrode.[4][1][6]
