City officials in Lebanon, N.H., are working with Carbon Harvest Energy Co. to build a plant that will convert methane gas from the city landfill into electricity. Kapuscinski has partnered with the Vermont-based energy company, and she and her students will look for ways to use byproducts from the facility’s electrical generator to develop a “high-value nutritional feed supplement” for fish, explains the Valley News.
