DISCOVERY OF REAL-TIME NATURAL GAS FORMATION OFFERS PROSPECT FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCE,

Powder river basin could provide natural gas for centuries instead of decades

Researchers at Luca Technologies, Inc. have made a discovery regarding natural gas production in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin that could lead to a renewable source of energy for generations to come.

The company today announced that laboratory evidence shows that the Powder River Basin (PRB) coals are generating natural gas in real time through the ongoing activity of anaerobic microbes (bacteria that live in the absence of oxygen) resident in those coal fields. The company has termed sites where this microbial conversion of hydrocarbon deposits (coals, organic shales, or oil) to methane occurs “Geobioreactors,” and believes the careful management of such sites may offer a new long-term solution to U.S. energy needs.
