NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2023 19 sità Cattolica has concluded two highly successful trials of Bovaer®, dsm-firmenich’s methane-reducing feed supplement for ruminants. Reducing methane emissions is crucial to keep global warming below the 1.5°C target outlined in the Paris Agreement. Over 150 countries have signed the Global Methane Pledge, committing to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30 percent by 2030. To date, Bovaer® has helped save over 50,000 tons of CO2e by reducing methane emissions from dairy and beef cattle in its trials, pilots and implementations around the globe, making a vital and growing contribution to the realization of global climate targets. Mark van Nieuwland, Vice President Bovaer® at dsm-firmenich, said: “There’s no time to lose when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting methane emissions is the fastest way to combat global warming and will be high on the agenda at this year’s COP 28 in Dubai. I’m proud that dsm-firmenich can offer dairy farmers a solution that will contribute to tackling one of the greatest challenges of our time. Collaboration, new ways of thinking, and pioneering innovations are all crucial to making dairy farming more sustainable.” Read more>> CH4 Global and Lotte to provide methane-reducing feed supplement to 4 million cattle with CH4 Global, Inc., a climate tech company on the path to scalable and profitable production of products that enable the food industry value chain to radically reduce GHG emissions, announced partnership with multinational conglomerate, Lotte International. The intent of the strategic partnership is to bring Methane Tamer™, ruminant enteric methane-reduction technology, to South Korea. CH4 Global and Lotte International are currently advancing studies for regulatory approval in South Korea in consultation with the government. The partnership includes the initial supply to the Lotte-owned Australian feedlot, Sandalwood, for up to seven thousand head of cattle, primarily Wagyu Beef. As CH4 Global's exclusive partner in South Korea, Lotte will provide up to four million cattle with the enteric methane-reducing feed supplement. The climate impact, from reduced emissions, for four million cattle would be as much as ten million metric tons, or a conservative estimate of seven million metric tons of CO2-e per year (GWP100). The target launch is 2025, with Lotte leading commercialization and CH4 Global manufacturing and supply product. "As a company that operates a beef business in Australia, reducing methane gas is a very important ESG issue. Therefore, we are actively working together with CH4 to reduce methane gas generated at Sandalwood and supply low-carbon beef in the market. In addition, we are working to introduce CH4 Global products in Korea to support the Korean government's goal of reducing methane gas emissions," said Ki-ho Jeong, CEO of Lotte International. "From the start, CH4 Global has been focused on developing the products and partnerships that enable us to reach our critical goal of reducing methane emissions on a global scale. This partnership with Lotte is another step in the direction of achieving our vision and putting our groundbreaking feed additive in the hands of farmers and food producers worldwide," said Steve Meller, CEO and co-founder of CH4 Global.
