I think that should be methanotrophic not methanogenic, if you are discussing 
the removal of methane from the air.

Subject: [geo] air capture techniques

We've discussed methanogenic bacteria and chemical capture of CO2 from ambient 
air.  Both techniques require fans.

However, there are many things that pass through air naturally, such as wind 
turbine blades and building roofs in windy areas.  Could these not be used as 
'substrates' for the necessary biological or chemical reactions?
