From lab to field in record time

From lab to field in record time

How a 99% reduction in the lab became a live demonstration at Milton Keynes.

Most technologies take years to travel from a promising lab result to real-world deployment. Bluemethane Brutus did it faster. After demonstrating a 99% reduction in methane production in controlled lab trials, Bluemethane moved directly into a live field demonstration, now running at an Anglian Water site near Milton Keynes, with the Environment Agency as Project Observer. What made this possible was not just good science – it was water companies, a committed regulator, and Bluemethane’s focus on methane mitigation from liquids, all pulling in the same direction. That kind of alignment is rare. That it happened here, on a tight compliance timeline, is something the whole sector should note.
