A new technology in British Columbia is transforming landfill gas into clean fuel using a single process instead of multiple expensive stages. The breakthrough could make renewable natural gas affordable for landfills of all sizes.
Southern Florida just turned trash into treasure with a new facility that captures landfill methane and transforms it into clean fuel for vehicles. The Vero Beach plant marks a breakthrough in controlling pollution while powering the community's transportation needs.
A Korean research team has built a pilot plant that turns trash into jet fuel, producing 100 kilograms of sustainable aviation fuel every day from landfill gas. The breakthrough could help airlines slash carbon emissions while solving two problems at once: waste and pollution.
Two Korean corporations just partnered to transform methane from landfills into clean energy across developing nations. The collaboration tackles both climate change and waste management in one innovative solution.
An engineer in India converts 11 kg of kitchen scraps into cooking gas daily, eliminating his need for LPG cylinders since 2019. His biodigester system now helps 350 homes save 2,500 gas cylinders yearly while keeping 1,000 tonnes of waste from landfills.
Nigeria produced 87% of its cooking gas locally in 2025, slashing imports and easing pressure on foreign currency reserves. The shift marks a dramatic turnaround from 2023, when nearly half of the country's cooking gas came from overseas.
Researchers in Spain have discovered how to transform methane, the main component of natural gas, into complex medicines using iron and LED light. In a stunning first, they created a hormone therapy drug directly from natural gas.
Nigeria just finished drilling a massive gas pipeline two kilometers beneath the River Niger, a breakthrough that could power millions of homes and factories. The project uses cutting-edge technology to transport enough gas daily to transform the country's energy future.
Indonesian scientists have developed a simple system that captures methane gas from trash dumps and transforms it into cooking fuel for nearby communities. The breakthrough could power homes and generate electricity across the nation's landfill sites.
Africa's largest gas reserves are finally heading to Nigeria's northern cities through a 614-kilometer pipeline that's been 17 years in the making. When gas flows to Abuja this July, millions will gain access to cleaner, cheaper energy.
Nigeria just fired up a major new gas processing facility that will deliver cleaner energy to millions while creating jobs and reducing the country's carbon footprint. The ANOH plant in Imo State started delivering gas this month after years of development.
While gas prices climb to $4 per gallon nationwide, Kentucky electric vehicle owners like Mike Proctor are celebrating relief from the pump. His 14 years of gas-free driving are now paying off more than ever.
A massive offshore module just left Italy for Libya to turn wasted gas into usable energy. The project could help Libya eliminate gas flaring by 2030 while strengthening Mediterranean energy security.
Norway just greenlit a massive underwater gas project that will breathe new life into old oil fields while strengthening energy security for millions across Europe. By 2028, this smart reuse of existing infrastructure will deliver up to 120 million barrels of clean-burning gas.
A Houston company just cracked the code on turning landfill gas into clean jet fuel using light instead of fire. Their first commercial plant in Uruguay will cut aviation emissions by 90% while making fuel cheaper than the fossil version.
A former dump in Fairfax County, Virginia, now hosts the region's largest solar array, transforming 37 acres of closed landfill into clean energy for the community. The project will save taxpayers $12 million over 30 years while slashing carbon emissions.
Pierce County transformed a closed landfill into a solar farm that generates enough clean energy to power 100 homes annually. Revenue from the project will fund energy assistance programs for low-income residents.
Starting July 2027, gas companies must reserve 20% of exports for Australian homes and businesses, ending years of shortages and price spikes. The move creates a buyers' market that should drive down energy costs across the east coast.
Solar energy grew 17 times faster than natural gas last year, supplying 75% of new global electricity demand. Nearly half of all gas-using countries have already passed peak gas generation as renewables become cheaper and more secure.
Soaring gas prices from the Iran conflict are driving more Americans to consider electric vehicles, with Tesla, Hyundai, and GM all reporting sales increases. At the New York Auto Show, drivers paying up to $6 per gallon say they're ready to make the switch.
