Spring 2016
The study of methanogenesis in wastewater biofilms and various aggregated methanogenic environmental samples with high spatial resolution can be achieved by using microbiosensor techniques. In this study, the fabrication of a microbiosensor for methane detection was studied. This microbiosensor...

Magnowski, Nicholas Brooks Kenneth
The natural gas industry recognises that the need for removal of CH4 from C2H6 feedstock C2H4 production and utilization. CH4 being a contaminant in the production of C2H4 and furthermore in the production of polymers from C2H4. Dethanizers in gas processing plants are energy intensive and...

Spring 2013
SOFCs which can directly operate under high concentration of H2S would be economically beneficial as this reduces the cost of gas purification. H2S is highly reactive gas specie which can poison most of the conventional catalysts. As a result, developing anode materials which can tolerate high...

Application of manure from cattle fed with different diets affects soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions
DownloadSpring 2019
Cattle production contributes the largest portion of livestock agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada mostly in the form of methane (CH4). Efforts to reduce CH4 emissions have led to modification of diet composition for livestock, resulting in a corresponding change in manure...

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Comprehensive Study of the Bioconversion of Coal Using Laboratory Core Flooding Experiments
DownloadSpring 2014
Core flooding experiments were performed to understand in-situ coal bioconversion process. Subbituminous coal particles packed inside a biaxial core holder was inoculated with microbial culture and was continuously flooded with mineral salts medium and nitrogen rich nutrient solution....

Fall 2016
Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria lessen the impact of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) not only because they are a sink for atmospheric methane but also because they oxidize it before it is emitted to the atmospheric reservoir. Aerobic methanotrophs, unlike anaerobic methane oxidizing archaea,...

Fall 2014
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide with a global warming potential over 100 years 25 times that of CO2. Today, anthropogenic sources of methane comprise 60% of the global methane budget per year and tools for mitigating emissions have become increasingly...

Effect of dried distillers’ grains with solubles on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle
DownloadSpring 2014
Four experiments were conducted to determine the impact of dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from beef cattle. The first compared in vitro methane (CH4) production from corn DDGS (CDDGS, ~30% crude protein [CP]) and wheat DDGS (WDDGS, ~40% CP dry...

Effects of feeding 3-nitrooxypropanol to lactating dairy cows on methane emissions, animal performance and rumen fermentation
DownloadFall 2014
Methane emissions from ruminants are of great concern as they contribute to greenhouse gasses emitted within the atmosphere. The objective of this research was to evaluate a novel biochemical compound, 3-nitrooxypropanol, on its ability to reduce methane emissions and its impact on animal...
