Later this year, researchers in the United States will deploy a bioreactor filled with a specially high strain of methane-eaten bacteria on a landfill site in Washington.
They hope that the field test will prove that these bacteria, known as methanotrophies, can be deployed in bioreactors to harvest methane from …
