1. A method of producing a synthetic diamond, the method comprising:

  • (a) capturing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere in a carbon dioxide column;

    (b) performing electrolysis of water to provide hydrogen in an electrolyzer;

    (c) reacting the carbon dioxide obtained from step (a) with the hydrogen obtained from step (b) to produce methane, the reaction being performed using methanogens, in a reactor positioned downstream from the carbon dioxide column and the electrolyzer; and

    (d) using the hydrogen obtained from step (b) and the methane obtained from step (c) to produce a synthetic diamond by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a CVD diamond machine positioned downstream from the electrolyzer and the reactor.
