Our Mission: To meaningfully impact climate change, today, by harnessing the power of Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce methane from cows and make it easy for farmers to adopt.
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 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 a sustainable, globally-scaled supply of a unique seaweed product real and viable. 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 supply 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.
