The EPA has recently proposed controversial new regulations that place limitations on the amount of methane released during hydrofracking operations. Now a study conducted by researchers from the University of Vermont has revealed that methane from fracking sites can migrate...
Landfills can emit unpleasant odors as well as landfill gas, which can migrate through soil and accumulate in nearby buildings. Some of the more hazardous gases produced within landfills include, methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia and sulfides. While hydrogen sulfide and...
Landfills can turn the rotting garbage piled up on their sites into huge profits, and a recently patented process explains how to increase methane production to get the highest returns from the mountains of accumulated stinking waste. As trash on...
Biogas is a sustainable and renewable form of energy, produced from organic waste matter that is all around us. Biogas plants are typically fueled by waste from feed stock or animal manure, but researchers and industry stakeholders are becoming more...
A collaboration of 137 bioenergy experts from all over the world culminates in the launch of a report that documents current research results and recommendations on the production and utilization of bioenergy, together with future growth potential, taking things such...
Tips for Using Landfill Gas Monitoring Systems In order to extract and collect landfill gas, and to reduce surface emissions and prevent migration of hazardous gases, specially designed landfill gas (LFG) systems need to be installed on landfill sites. Some...
Diamond Scientific is pleased to announce that it has just been issued Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Certification by the Florida Department of Transport (FDOT), who administer this Federal program on behalf of the Federal Government in the State of Florida....
What is Vapor Intrusion? According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), vapor intrusion can be defined as the "migration of hazardous vapors from any subsurface contaminant source, such as contaminated soil vapour extraction or groundwater or contaminated conduit(s), into...
New insight into methanotrophic bacteria that are able to oxidize methane, a potent greenhouse gas, may enable scientists to develop a range of biotechnological applications that provide opportunities for exploiting methane while at the same time protecting the environment. In...
