Disclosed is a system and method related to removal of carbon from carbon dioxide via the use of plasma arc heating techniques. The method involves generating C atoms and H atoms from CxHy. The method involves generating graphite and H2 from the C atoms and H atoms, and extracting the graphite. The method involves quenching the H2 with CxHy. The method involves receiving, at a generator, the quenched the H2 and CYHy and generating electricity. The method involves generating a concentrated stream of H2 from the quenched H2 and CxHy. The method involves receiving CO2 and the concentrated stream of H2 and generating C, O, and H atoms. The method involves receiving the C, O, and H atoms and generating graphite, wherein the graphite is extracted. In the hydrocarbon CxHy: x is an integer 1, 2, 3, . . . , and y=2x+2. |
