Investing in methane as an alternative fuel is an investment in our environment. Methane fuel, more commonly known as natural gas, is felt to be more environmentally friendly than gasoline or diesel. It produces a much lower level of carbon dioxide than other hydrocarbons. Another great benefit of methane fuel is the wide variety of naturally occurring sources where it could be harvested. In addition to finding it in the common natural gas fields, it can also be created through the fermentation of manure, wastewater sludge and landfill waste as well as the ocean floor, coal deposits and scientists are working on chemical reactions that produce methane. It is even found in our solar system!
Seek out mutual funds which are targeted specifically towards alternative fuels. Your stock broker can advise you on this. Investing in a mutual fund which covers a variety of alternative fuels may remove some of the financial risk involved.
Look into the various groups performing scientific studies on methane gas and consider buying stock in their company or those who are financially backing their endeavors.
Purchase stock in companies with operations/development in alternative energy sources, industry services and renewable energy. EnergySTOX is a great resource for this. They list more than 700 such companies which you could research. (link in resource section)
Look for online investor conferences. Renewable energy stock promoters on the internet sometimes offer this as live tapings. If you can't find them live, you can certainly find archived recordings of them. They can be a wealth of knowledge for the beginning alternative fuel investor.
- Investments in alternative energy are riskier than some investments. Be certain to research stock price histories and make informed choices. Methane is likely one of the safer alternative fuel source investments due to it's strong availability and information already existing on it's possible usage.
