Abstract: Several embodiments of the invention relate generally to a system and methods for the treatment of gaseous emissions comprising methane and one or more non-methane compounds that can influence the metabolism of methane-oxidizing microorganisms. In several embodiments, there is provided a system and methods for the treatment of methane emissions through the use of methanotrophic microorganisms to generate functionally consistent and harvestable products. Certain embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous because they reduce environmentally-destructive methane emissions and produce harvestable end-products.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking, via a blockchain registry, carbon credits in goods produced from materials with sequestered carbon. Materials with sequestered carbon may be produced by reacting greenhouse gases with air and other reagents and catalysts (including biological organisms). Following production of a batch of material with sequestered carbon, a blockchain entry may be recorded with production details and details of carbon-credits earned during production. The carbon-sequestering material may later be converted into products, each of which may have a unique product identifier. A blockchain entry may be recorded with the unique product identifiers such that an owner of a unit of product can obtain, from the blockchain registry, a verified amount of carbon-credit associated with that unit.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to the microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids, or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), from substrates which cannot be used as a source of carbon and/or energy for microbial growth or PHA synthesis and which have microbial and environmental toxicity. According to one embodiment of the invention, a process for the production of PHA is provided wherein an enzyme such as methane monooxygenase is used to convert volatile organic compounds into PHA through the use of microorganisms that are unable to use volatile organic compounds as a source of carbon for growth or PHA production.
