New Portable Energy Source Utilizes Microbes To Turn Electricity Directly To Methane

Monday, March 30, 2009 - 11:21 in Physics & Chemistry

A tiny microbe can take electricity and directly convert carbon dioxide and water to methane, producing a portable energy source with a potentially neutral carbon footprint, according to engineers. The process does not sequester carbon, but it does turn carbon dioxide into fuel, according to researchers.
