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...
Landfill gas consists largely of methane, a gas that is formed within landfills as a result of methanogenesis that occurs during the decomposition of organic waste. Methanogenesis can be defined as either: 1) "Bacterial conversion of methanogenic substrates [acetate, formats,...
Landfills are harsh and hazardous environments. They are subjected to heavy earthworks; exposed to the elements, including harsh sun and rain; as well as toxic and highly corrosive chemicals, and explosive natural gases that consist largely of methane. Consequently, great...
Marine science education is a popular choice amongst students, who can either venture into marine biology or oceanography, depending on their long-term goals. But no matter what discipline of marine science they follow, understanding the chemistry and quality of seawater...
