MANIPULATING METHANE

Global landfill emissions are estimated at 10-20 million tons of greenhouse gases per year, comparable to the global energy sector emissions. A chemical process using plasma could create sustainable jet fuel from methane gas emitted from landfills, potentially creating a low-carbon aviation industry. The process would work by using a shaft-like mechanism to extract methane from a landfill site.
