We are beginning to get a sense of regional variation in methane emissions from natural gas production. The gas fields we studied for this paper produced about 20% of the natural gas in the United States, and more than half the shale gas, so this moves us closer to understanding methane leaks from US natural gas production.

The PBR is designed to capture and recycle CO 2 emissions without releasing the gas into the atmosphere. At the core of the technology is A2BE Carbon Capture’s photo-bioreactor (PBR) system for the production of algal biomass. Algae inside the PBR absorb the CO 2 and convert it into biomass during photosynthesis.
