Gas Reservoirs as GCS Sites
Gas Reservoirs as GCS Sites
ESD scientists
Barry Freifeld
and
Tom Daley
are part of a project that has helped to verify that depleted gas reservoirs can be used for GCS and have enough storage capacity to significantly reduce global emissions.
Engineering Bacteria for New Biofuels
Engineering Bacteria for New Biofuels
ESD’s Harry Beller and other LBNL scientists investigate methyl ketones, a class of compounds that can be synthesized from plant-derived sugars by engineered microbes, for potential application to biofuel production.
Investigating Far-Away Microbes
Investigating Far-Away Microbes
Nara Damdinsuren, a PhD. candidate in her native Mongolia, has recently been working with ESD’s Tamas Torok on using genetic screens to catalog microbes from the Khaara River of Mongolia.
