Guwahati, Dec. 9 -- IIT Guwahati researchers have developed an advanced biological method using methanotrophic bacteria to convert methane and carbon dioxide into eco-friendly biofuels.

This innovative approach marks a significant step forward in sustainable energy solutions and climate change mitigation.

The study addresses two pressing global challenges - the harmful environmental impacts of greenhouse gases and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves.

Methane, a greenhouse gas that is 27 to 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide, significantly contributes to global warming.

Turning methane and carbon dioxide into liquid fuels can reduce emissions and provide renewable energy, but existing chemical methods are energy-intensive, expe...
