Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed a biological method to turn methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) into biofuels using bacteria. This approach is a significant step toward sustainable energy and combating climate change. Unlike traditional chemical methods, it is energy-efficient, avoids toxic by-products, and doesn’t require expensive catalysts. The process uses a type of bacteria to convert methane and CO2 into bio-methanol, offering an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels while reducing emissions and avoiding the “food vs. fuel” issue.
