Mass transfer and kinetic limitations are two obstacles to the removal of a pollutant from the
gas phase in a biofilter (BF) or a biotrickling filter (BTF). The issue becomes more …

The rapid pace of climate change has created great urgency for short-term mitigation
strategies. Appropriately, the long-term target for intervening in global warming is CO2, but …

Lowering the atmospheric methane concentration is critical to reducing short-term global
warming because of methane's high radiative forcing and relatively short lifetime. Methane …

Aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria play a key role in controlling global climate by reducing
methane (CH 4) emissions in natural ecosystems. We studied the community assembly …

Despite several fungal strains have been retrieved from methane-containing environments,
the actual capacity and role of fungi on methane abatement is still unclear. The batch …

Methane is an essential component of the global carbon cycle and one of the most powerful
greenhouse gases (GHGs), yet it is also a rich source of carbon and energy. Methanotrophs …

In the process of coal mining, a large amount of methane is emitted into the atmosphere
every year, which enhances the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. Microbial methane …

Landfill gas emissions cause serious environmental concerns due to the presence of
methane (CH 4), an important greenhouse gas (GHG) and several harmful volatile organic …

Sewage from residents and industries is collected and transported to wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) with sewer networks. The operation of WWTPs results in emissions of …

Bio-augmented systems based on methanotrophs are indispensable in curbing
anthropogenic methane emissions from engineered landfills or dumpsites to curtail rising …
