A new study suggests a potentially sweeter fate for all those heads and guts: They can be turned into a coal-like substance called hydrochar, which could be used as fuel or added to soil to improve fertility and sequester carbon (Energy Fuels 2015, DOI: 10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5b01671).</p> Mon, 04 Nov 2024 20:09:29 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 6759 at /macdonald
