Andrew Zipser checks operations at an Aemetis biogas facility in Ceres, Calif., on Thursday, May 9, 2024. Local dairies use digesters to capture methane from cow manure which is then piped to the ...

Scientists have developed an efficient new way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. The technique could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a cleaner way to make key ...

The search for alternative energy sources continues as an ongoing quest that is increasingly driven by widespread concerns over global warming. One area of focus has been the potential use of animal ...

For many applications, liquid fuels remain the most practical energy supply—applications like aircraft and large ships being obvious examples. It's possible to avoid using fossil fuels for these ...

Evolution of landfill gas uses When combusted, methane is converted to carbon dioxide, which while still a greenhouse gas, has a much lower global warming potential than methane. Sending captured ...

The stench of cow feces, urine and ammonia forces residents to keep windows and doors closed in parts of California's farming country. Some people constantly run air purifiers at home to counter the ...
