Wastewater plants’ greenhouse gas emissions far exceed estimates, US study finds
Wastewater Plants’ Greenhouse Gas Emissions Exceed Estimates, US Study Reveals A quiet source of pollution has turned out to be much louder than expected. Wastewater treatment plants, often overlooked in discussions about greenhouse gas emissions, have been found to be significant contributors to methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere, according to a recent study […]
Global methane emissions continue to rise: Can we change the tide?
Global Methane Emissions Continue to Rise: Can We Change the Tide? A recent study conducted by the University of Birmingham has shed light on a concerning trend – global methane emissions are on the rise and show no indications of slowing down. This revelation poses a critical question: Can we alter the course of this […]
Norway scientists use microbes to make biomethane from CO2 with 96% purity
Norway Scientists Use Microbes to Make Biomethane from CO2 with 96% Purity Scientists at the Norwegian Institute of BIOeconomy Research (NIBIO) have turned to biofilms to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) into biomethane with an impressive 96% purity level. This groundbreaking research not only offers a sustainable solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also provides […]
