Eden GeoPower, An MIT Green Tech Startup, Improves America’s Oil Production

As governments around the world continue to discuss, shape and implement multilateral climate change agreements, oil remains the lifeblood of the global economy. Recently, the United States of America has become a net exporter of petroleum products.
