Name:Real-Time Methane Production
Product URL:http://www.lucatechnologies.com/content/index.cfm?fuseaction=showContent&contentID=6&navID=6
Description:Through a series of carefully controlled laboratory experiments, LUCA has shown that coal samples extracted from a number of suspected Geobioreactors will produce methane on an on-going basis. Moreover, this methane production can be stimulated by the introduction of additional nutrient compounds, or suppressed by heat sterilization or the introduction of oxygen, both of which will kill anaerobic organisms. Furthermore, LUCA has shown that radio labeled CO2 (carbon dioxide) introduced to these samples is converted into radio labeled methane, indicating that the methane formation is the result of a biological process.
