Methane Biofiltration Processes: A Summary of Biotic and Abiotic Factors

  • Fatemeh Ahmadi,
  • Tatiana Bodraya and
  • Maximilian Lackner

21 February 2024

The ongoing yearly rise in worldwide methane (CH4) emissions is mostly due to human activities. Nevertheless, since over half of these emissions are scattered and have a concentration of less than 3% (v/v), traditional physical–chemical methods...
