Methane mitigation

Breakthrough Climate Solutions

At CH4 Global, we prioritize making the biggest climate impact, the soonest.

Today, that means...

SLASHING METHANE EMISSIONS

Our Approach

We’re experts at leveraging scientific discovery to develop and advance market-disrupting commercial solutions. At each step, we collaborate with select partners for maximum climate impact.

Targeting GHG Industry Problem Areas

Our current focus is a climate turnaround in agriculture, the largest single-sector source of global methane and a major contributor to climate change.

Sustainable solutions that scale globally

CH4 Global understands what is required to create a viable solution that doesn't depend on government subsidies. The answer is solutions whose cost is carefully balanced to work for all parties – CH4 Global, food producers, and farmers – while ensuring quality and efficacy are front and center. By aligning economic viability with environmental responsibility, we have developed a sustainable production model that can scale globally and make a lasting impact on our planet's future.

Solving food and agriculture’s methane predicament...

On the one hand, global demand for meat and dairy products is on a growth path. Ruminants currently produce around 30% of global methane emissions, but growth in animal production means increased emissions of enteric methane—methane that ruminants like cattle, sheep, and goats belch as a normal part of their digestion.

On the other hand, governments and business leaders must reduce methane emissions to meet climate commitments, and consumers increasingly seek climate-friendly foods.

Farmers and food producers are in a tough spot. They're looking for cost-effective ways to operate more sustainably.

Enter Methane Tamer™

Making lower-methane animal products a reality

Methane Tamer is a line of animal feed supplement formulations based on whole Asparagopsis seaweed, which is the most effective natural substance for reducing enteric methane. In fact, Methane Tamer Beef Feedlot is designed to deliver a minimum 70% reduction in enteric emissions throughout its shelf life.

When comparing Methane Tamer™ and control cattle, meat received consistent scores across all MLA quality metrics.

There have also been significant benefits to the cattle fed Methane Tamer™, as they’ve achieved the same weight gain as the control group while consuming less feed per day, representing an improvement in feed conversion efficiency of a few per cent over a 100-day period.

No change to cattle feeding behavior, post-feeding behavior, cattle appearance, and no visual change to manure.

Mitch Roth, Operations Manager @ Sandalwood (Lotte)

It’s a very easy product to use that is dust free, easy to handle, mixes in well with feed, and cattle like it.

Heath Tiller, Principle Operator @ HB Rural (CirPro)

Methane Tamer™ Beef Feedlot is our targeted formulation designed specifically for beef cattle in feedlot operations.

Lower-methane beef is now a reality!

The amazing properties of Asparagopsis

A key ingredient in Methane Tamer formulations is whole Asparagopsis. Natural compounds in this seaweed prevent methane gas from being formed during the digestive process of ruminant animals, a fact first demonstrated by researchers in Australia.

Dried, whole Asparagopsis has been shown to significantly reduce enteric methane emissions in beef cattle and dairy cows as well as sheep, with no adverse effects to livestock, their products, or the environment.

Besides reducing methane, Asparagopsis also has been shown to have additional benefits, such as reduced loss of feed energy to enteric fermentation.

From seaweed to global climate solution

Quality matters

Not all Asparagopsis is created equal. Only seaweed grown, harvested, and processed to our exacting standards can be guaranteed to provide the benefits of Methane Tamer.

More than seaweed

One size doesn’t fit all. Like our feedlot formulation, Methane Tamer formulations are targeted by type of animal and producer operation, for enhanced efficacy, palatability, and usability.

Produced sustainably

We strive to produce Methane Tamer with minimal environmental impact, implementing the CH4 Global EcoPark model to meet global demand through our regional operations.

Scaled up for impact

As we grow Methane Tamer operations, we do so with climate-committed partners that are leaders in their fields, from digitalization to sustainable aquaculture to ingredient processing.

Backed by third-party carbon credentials

We’re developing a carbon credit program and verification process with a leading carbon registry so we can pass along the benefits of proven methane reduction.
