When landfills and wastewater treatment plants create methane as a byproduct, much of it is simply burned and its value is lost. But the gas is an energy-rich resource that could be recycled as a fuel, chemical feedstock or bioproduct. Capturing and converting waste methane offers an opportunity to recover energy and create useful products from an otherwise wasted gas stream.

📋 Key Takeaway
Researchers have developed 3D-printed scaffolds that enable the conversion of waste methane from landfills and wastewater treatment plants into valuable chemicals using less energy than traditional liquid reactors. This innovation has implications for energy recovery and resource management in Iran, where methane emissions are significant. The ability to recycle methane could enhance Iran's energy sustainability and reduce environmental impact.
