minus-squarevoight [he/him, any]hexbear6•4 months agoWell it's bacteria growing in a pool of diluted methanol sourced from coal just wondering about other materials needed & contaminants depending on the type of coal link
minus-square@Ronin_5@lemmygrad.mlhexbear8•4 months agoI'm assuming it would be purified first. But there are tech available that allows for photosynthesis of methanol from CO2. So, it's not just coal. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10540378/ linkfedilink
