Additional Info
Our Mission: Urgently impact climate change, at scale, by harnessing the power of Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce methane from cows. This is because we believe: * Climate change is real. Humanity is running out of time to act. Agriculture/methane is a significant contributor to climate change. * Nature can inspire and technology can deliver a meaningful difference. Seaweed is an unrealized resource that nature has provided to reduce methane in cows. * We are realists about convincing the world to do things differently. We want to make change as easy as possible. * We are certain that we can make a difference by bringing individuals, communities, governments and industry together. The company’s bold vision is for Zero Methane Agriculture by bending the climate curve. because cutting methane will significantly slow short-term global warming. CH4’s urgent initiative is to cut methane emissions from livestock by making available to the world sustainable, globally-scaled products containing a unique seaweed. This special seaweed, Asparagopsis, has over 10 years of research behind it and has shown effects of 60-90% reduction in methane emissions from both dairy and beef cattle and sheep. As we, at CH4 Global, work to make Asparagopsis products real, we are committed to doing this in a way that makes it easy for farmers to adopt and that will benefit communities where we aqua-farm. We are collaborating with local communities to ensure that all can benefit from our work. Our Management Team and Advisory Board come with significant research, development, marketing, large-scale production, distribution and investment experience in major global companies. We are based in USA, New Zealand and Australia.
