Turning residual biomass into a resource rather than waste has previously been difficult. A novel process produces methane with very high yield.
A special blend of robust bacteria in a new process is paving the way to convert even the stubbornest forms of biomass into methane.
Lowering CO2 emissions is no longer considered enough to preserve the Earth’s climate. We also need to actively capture CO2.
