Re: Microbes and energy production - Using microbes to produce methane

I just stumpled upon this site http://free.financialmail.co.za/innovat … y/dinn.htm

Anyway its about extracting gas from a lake in a central african country that is produced by a microbe called: "archaea"

That microbe takes CO2 out of the water (plenty of that on Mars) for oxygen and produces methane as a byproduct. Well nuclear energy is still cheaper and easier to implement on Mars but this microbe could help with the terraforming of Mars and at the same time deliver energy.


Waht? Tehr's a preveiw buottn?
