Microbial Ecology Guided Energy and Resource Recovery from Landfills

Microorganisms in landfills are the key players in breaking down solid waste materials and in converting that waste to useful and recoverable, revenue-generating products such as renewable natural gas. Come learn how UW-Madison’s Dr. Erica Majumder, Assistant Professor of Bacteriology, set out to learn more about landfill microorganisms and their role in converting solid waste to methane.
