This could be <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lied\u00a0to livestock housing as well as biogas and wastewater treatment plants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA large part of our methane emissions comes from millions of low-concentration point sources like cattle and pig barns. In practice, methane from these sources has been impossible to concentrate into higher levels or remove,\u201d said professor Matthew Stanley Johnson, who led the study.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper channel-cta\">\n<div class=\"ica-text\">\n<p class=\"ica-text__title\">TNW Conference 2024 &#8211; Calling all Startups to join on June 20-21<\/p>\n<p>Showcase your startup in front of investors, change-makers and potential customers with our curated Startup packages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But according to Johnson, the team\u2019s new reaction chamber is changing the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_methane-cleaning_reactor\"><\/span>A methane-cleaning reactor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As part of their study, the researchers built a reaction chamber and developed a method that simulates methane\u2019s natural degradation process.<\/p>\n<p>The team used chlorine and UV light to create a chain reaction of chemical compounds inside the chamber. This caused the methane to break down and decompose, turning it into carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen (H2).<\/p>\n<p>This way, they removed the gas from the air in the same way the natural process does in the atmosphere \u2014 but approximately 100 million times faster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the scientific study, we\u2019ve proven that our reaction chamber can eliminate 58% of methane from air. And, since submitting the study, we have improved our results in the laboratory so that the reaction chamber is now at 88%,\u201d said professor Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>A larger prototype of the reaction chamber will soon arrive at the university, with the prospect to be connected to the ventilation system in a livestock barn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s livestock farms are high-tech facilities where ammonia is already removed from air. As such, removing methane through existing air purification systems is an obvious solution,\u201d Johnson explained. This is also the case for biogas and wastewater treatment plants.<\/p>\n<p>The research was carried out in collaboration between the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Aarhus University, Arla, Skov, and UCPH spinout Ambient Carbon.
