Carbon Neutral Methane Obtained Cheaply From CO2 and Water
We all know most of world's greatest inventions have been made by mistake. A team of researchers from the Penn State, led by Bruce E.Logan, Kappe Professor of Environmental Engineering, discovered how to produce methane from water and carbon dioxide. Here's what he says: "We were studying making hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells and we kept getting all this methane. We may now understand why."
