Abstract
A Method and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Methanol (CH.sub.3 OH) in connection with a fusion reaction chamber which comprises utilizing the heat of fusion reaction to dissociate calcium carbonate CaCO.sub.3 into CaO and CO.sub.2. The resulting CO.sub.2 is introduced into a fusion reaction chamber and subjected to heat and radiation which creates CO and O.sub.2. The CO is mixed with water under conditions to create CO.sub.2 and hydrogen. The hydrogen may then be combined with CO to form methanol and the CO.sub.2 is utilized in a recycling system which feeds back into the reactor.
