The Department of Chemistry, in cooperation with the Development and Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, University of Baghdad, organized the workshop tagged “Modern Environmentally Friendly Technologies for the Production of Methane Gas” under the auspices of the Dean of the College, Assistant Professor Dr. Raed Faleh Hassan, and attended several postgraduate, academics and those concerned with sustainable environmental development.

The workshop aimed to familiarize the methane as biogas and its environmental significance and the practical way of producing environmentally friendly gas in laboratory and field from plant, animal and household waste, described as the most abundant greenhouse gas on Earth after carbon dioxide.

The workshop presented by Dr. Surur Abdel Rahman and Associate Professor Dr. Wafa Ghazi Fadel, reviewed the importance of methane gas and its environmentally friendly uses of plant, animal and household residues and chemical industrial processes, demonstrating its accessibility when organic waste is degraded in an oxygen-deprived environment through a process commonly referred to as anaerobic digestion. Plants and harnessed from humans to be used as a source of green energy to fuel the transition to green energy.
