Thick mats of algae blanket beaches, disrupt fisheries, damage tourism and release harmful gases as they decay, with cleanup costs reaching hundreds of millions of dollars each year. What began as an unexpected […]
In Spain, the government has opened a public consultation until June 11 regarding a draft Royal Decree on the Promotion of Biomethane which establishes, for the first time, a quota system for biomethane that aims to guarantee a certain amount of this renewable gas in the total volume of natural gas and liquefied natural gas […]
