"University of Alberta is researching how to utilize coal to feed livestock. However, the animals wouldn’t technically be eating coal, instead the research team collects methanol from the coal being burned and then mixes it and dries it with bacteria protein.

“We can produce a higher quality product without having to make those trade-offs, while helping the environment,” said Mark Lawley, researcher at Cvictus Fermentation Group.

Lawley says it’s perfect for a carbon capture site, seeing it as a greener alternative."

Making food out of thin air sounds unreal. Someone out there is designing mobile carbon capture devices for cows, I’m sure of it.

Plants come close, using nitrogen to make protein, and CO2 for carbohydrates.
