Tiny microbe : Scientists identify microbe that turns (CO2) and water directly to methane
In a new research, a team of Penn State engineers has identified a tiny microbe that can take electricity and directly convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water to methane, producing a portable energy source with a potentially neutral carbon footprint.
“We were studying making hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells and we kept getting all this methane,” [...]
