A simple apparatus is described whereby any quantity of CO2 up to several moles can be converted to methane in one step by catalytic hydrogenation using a ruthenium catalyst. The conversion is very rapid, the entire operation being carried out in about 3 hours. The over-all yield is greater than 98%, and the methane is of high purity.
