I'm using compost and from it i want to run the gases that are produced by the compost into a colunm that has activated carbon in it, and i can't find anywhere if the activated carbon absorbs the methane or not becasue i want to use the just a methane to get natural gas. I don't think it would trap the methane but i'm not sure.
