Methane emissions from drinking water purification can be reduced by 50%, researcher says
It is becoming increasingly difficult to produce sufficient drinking water, and this process also releases large amounts of the harmful greenhouse gas methane. For his Ph.D. thesis, microbiologist Alje Boersma researched how we can purify drinking water more efficiently and found ways to reduce methane emissions by 50%. He will defend his research at Radboud University on 10 June.
