Breakthroughs in drilling methods and heat extraction techniques are widening the appeal of geothermal power systems across the world, and geothermal generation capacity is on track to double once projects currently in development are completed. Currently, only around 2% of global energy generation comes from geothermal projects, according to Energy Institute data, which places the...
Seasonal celebrations cause spikes in certain food waste, which can either rot in landfill or be fed as a slurry to the microorganisms responsible for producing biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). However, microbes are picky, and efficient AD requires a balanced diet. This presents a challenge to the producers of biogas and biomethane, who prepare...
When Army Maj. Eric Czaja thinks about America’s military readiness, he doesn’t just think about soldiers, weapons or strategy.
