A review of Methanoculleus: a hydrogenotrophic methanogens frequently observed in anaerobic habitats Summary: Keywords: Methanoculleus, hydrogenotrophic pathway, methane production Introduction: Methane is an important greenhouse gas due to its capability of retaining heat and its release from many nature sources, including wetlands, fresh water or sea water sediments, and animal manure, etc. There are two main means of atmospheric methane production, biogenic and abiogenic. Since 70%-80% of…

Much less, the process of hydraulic fracturing is more complicated than its history. First, the hydraulic fracturing workers will need to find a location, and remove all the objects around that might disturb the fracking construction site. Then, the team will drill a deep well with fresh water fluid into the ground. Chesapeake Energy estimates that the average depth of its wells is 7,700 feet/2,347 meters, and the Colorado Oil and Gas Association gives the diameter of the hole at 12.25 inches…

Section A: Introduction Volkswagen has been producing some of Europe’s most popular cars since the 1940s.

The Beetle became increasingly popular between 1945 and 1955, with production numbers reaching one million. The car stayed a household favourite throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s thanks to its…

Introduction As the threats of climate change have increased, so has research on alternative energy. Alternative energy differs from classic fuel sources (i.e. coal, shale, natural gas) because it uses natural resources that has the ability to be consistently replaced; thus it is also termed “renewable energy.” “Biofuels” are a specific class of renewable energy that refers to biomass (versus other natural resources like sunlight) or harvested metabolites from living organisms that can be…

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY 1.1 INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITION Geothermal energy is the utilization of heat present in the deep earth for the purpose of power generation or other direct use application. In general terms, geothermal energy consists of the thermal energy present in the Earth’s crust. Thermal energy in the earth is distributed between the constituent host rock and the natural fluid that is contained in its fractures and pores at temperatures above ambient levels. Globally, the most commonly…

The EU leaders agreed on greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2030. It was a complicated process as renewable energy targets were constantly opposed by such countries as Poland, which depends on coal heavily, and the UK, which continues to explore shale gas. On the other hand, Germany…

“One hires the best consultants on airfield layout, noise impacts, terminal layout, on-site roadways, off-site roadways, cost estimating, financial analysis, and forecasting,” observed DIA administrator Gail Edmond. “They brainstorm and generate as many alternate layouts as possible.” Alternatives were discussed and eliminated at periodic joint working sessions, and a technical subcommittee was organized to gather input from the eventual airport users, airlines, pilots, and the FAA. “Everybody…
