Why CH4 Global?

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a solution to climate change that could slow global warming and buy the world time to save our planet. We believe there is.

At CH4 Global we are on an urgent mission to impact climate change using an amazing seaweed native to Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia called Asparagopsis. Cows burp methane which over 20 years, is 86 times more potent than CO2 at warming the atmosphere. As a result, methane emissions from animals are by far the single biggest contributor to carbon footprint.

Very small amounts of Asparagopsis seaweed, when feed to ruminant animals (that’s cattle, sheep, goats and deer) can reduce their methane emissions by more than 90%. Asparagopsis has almost 10 years of published, peer-reviewed scientific proof of its ability to interact with the digestive processes of ruminant animals to inhibit methane production.

Who wouldn’t want to be part of a team addressing climate change to create a better world the generations to come? Come join us and help make a difference for the future of our planet.
