1. A method for removal of carbon from carbon dioxide, the method comprising:
(a) generating C atoms and H atoms from CH4;
(b) generating graphite and H2 from the C atoms and H atoms, and extracting the graphite;
(c) quenching the H2, unreacted CH4, and hydrocarbons having a heavier weight relative to the unreacted CH4;
(d) receiving, at a generator, the quenched H2, the unreacted CH4 and the hydrocarbons having a heavier weight relative to the unreacted CH4 and generating electricity;
(e) generating a concentrated stream of H2 from the quenched H2, the unreacted CH4 and the hydrocarbons having a heavier weight relative to the unreacted CH4;
(f) receiving CO2 and the concentrated stream of H2 and generating additional C atoms, O atoms, and additional H atoms; and
(g) receiving the additional C atoms, the O atoms, and the additional H atoms and generating additional graphite, wherein the additional graphite is extracted.
