feed excess carbon-dioxide to methanogen bacteria…they eat carbon-dioxide.

Oliver explained how hydrogenotrophic bacteria (a sub-species of methanogen bacteria) do indeed bond the carbon from carbon-dioxide with hydrogen to produce methane gas.

methanogen bacteria produce methane (natural gas)

Oliver explained the value to civilized society of a stable natural gas supply.

Oliver would have been 94 years old tonight at midnight. He claimed January 25, 1916 as his birthday.
