The Massachusetts-based recycler uses anaerobic biodigesters to create renewable natural gas from food waste. Bacteria in the digesters consume the waste, creating methane and CO2 as byproducts. Now it's time to recycle food waste, and it's not that hard. The gas can then be used for energy purposes.

Consisting of one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms, the ammonia molecule (NH3) has the potential to support the hydrogen fuel economy in all three domains. Today, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels through steam methane reforming, generating 830 Mt of annual CO2 emissions. Making hydrogen competitive.
