CH4 Global EcoParks

At CH4 Global, we are on a mission to reduce gigatonne-level GHG emissions over the next ten years, aiming to bend the climate curve downward from its current trajectory through scalable, science-driven solutions. To achieve this, we must reach 150 million cattle—10% of the global total—with our Methane Tamer™ solution, requiring a bold approach to scaling Asparagopsis production.

The Challenges of Scaling Asparagopsis Production

Growing enough Asparagopsis seaweed using traditional methods to transform global livestock emissions comes with significant challenges:

Changing ocean conditions

seasonal wild growth cycles

Potential contamination risks from uncontrolled seaweed farming

Competition for coastal waters with fisheries & marine industries

High operational costs for large-scale land-based production

A better way was needed—one that ensures reliable, sustainable, and scalable production while minimizing environmental impact.

Enter the CH4 Global EcoParks

Our visionary EcoParks are state-of-the-art, land-based facilities that revolutionize how Asparagopsis is grown and processed. Powered by proprietary, end-to-end technology, these controlled environments enable us to cultivate, harvest, and process Asparagopsis at scale—all while ensuring quality and minimizing our footprint and ensuring sustainability from the ground up.

Designed for Sustainability & Efficiency

CH4 Global EcoParks are more than production sites—they are models for sustainable industry. Our facilities:

• Strengthen regional economies by partnering with local vendors.
• Minimize environmental impact through thoughtful land use and stewardship.
• Optimize resource use with advanced water recycling and reuse systems.
• Use renewable energy sources like solar while maximizing natural sunlight to reduce overall energy consumption.
• Advance a circular economy by minimizing waste and incorporating reclaimed and repurposed materials.

We recognize that constructing and operating large-scale facilities comes with environmental responsibilities. That’s why we’ve implemented a sustainable design framework, ensuring responsible resource management, waste reduction, and minimal greenhouse gas emissions—all while supporting the well-being of the communities where we operate.

Why EcoParks Matter

Our EcoPark model is a game-changer for scaling Asparagopsis production while keeping costs and environmental impact low. The benefits include:

• Guaranteed controlled and consistent production of Asparagopsis
• Lower costs for growing, processing, and transporting seaweed at scale
• Minimal environmental risk for non-native Asparagopsis cultivation outside Australia & NZ
• A lower carbon footprint from day one of operations
• Economic opportunities for coastal First Nations

Our first CH4 Global EcoPark in Louth Bay, South Australia is already leading the way.

EcoParks by the Numbers

Louth Bay, South Australia

• World’s largest commercial Asparagopsis production & processing facility
• Phase 1: 10 ponds, 3 feeder ponds holding 2 million liters of water
• Produces 80 tonnes of Methane Tamer™ annually—enough for 4,500 cattle per day
• Prevents nearly 9,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions per year

Future scaling (3+ years)

• 500 ponds, holding 90 million liters of water
• 5,500 tonnes of Methane Tamer™ annually—enough for 300,000 cattle per day
• Prevents nearly 600,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions per year

Our sustainability commitment started with responsible site rehabilitation:

• 5,000 tonnes of concrete crushed & reused on site as roadbase
• 11.76 tonnes of HDPE plastic was recovered and diverted from landfill
• 10 tonnes of aquaculture equipment redistributed for community reuse
• 5 tonnes of steel repurposed for new construction
