Methane Gas • The combustion of methane is a very exothermic reaction (ΔH = -891 kJ/mol) • Main component of "natural gas“ • Can be found • Underground • Swamps and marshes • Livestock (methanogenic bacteria)
Something we may not know • Cow can produce a lot of gas per day
How to • Simple equipment to recreate “fart” • Create methane using daily food waste • vegetables • fruit
Lab • Create a smaller scale system • Measure how much gas produce per pound of food • Using the result to calculate the energy the process can produce
Product • Gas (methane) • Fertilizer
