♻️ Landfill-Gas-to-Biomethane Revolution

Landfills emit large amounts of landfill gas (LFG), a mixture primarily of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This gas contributes heavily to greenhouse effect and climate change. But what if we could transform this problem into a powerful renewable fuel ? The emerging approach of converting LFG to biomethane using carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is making this dream possible. 🌟 ⚗️ Innovative Carbon Capture Technology 💧 One-Pot Sodium Chloride Batch Mineralization This novel method uses sodium chloride (NaCl) as a reactive mineralizing agent in a single-step batch process . ⚙️ Mechanism: CO₂ from LFG reacts with sodium-based compounds to form stable mineral carbonates , while methane gets purified. ⚡ Efficiency: The one-pot design reduces energy input, process time, and operational costs. 🌿 Eco-impact: Sequesters CO₂ permanently, mitigating climate change. 🔬 Conversion to Biomethane 💨 Purification and Upgrading After CO₂ removal, the remai...
