NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2024 103 Volta Greentech, a Swedish biotechnology company that develops and produces innovative feed additives for cows, announced a shift towards its groundbreaking 2nd generation Lome™ feed additive, cutting the cost for GHG reductions by 10x. With nearly 100 million SEK already secured in total for development and commercialization, the company unveiled its aim to deliver Lome™ (gen2) at scale to customers by 2026, pending EU regulatory approval. With global cow emissions totalling 4 billion tons of CO2e annually, demand is soaring. Built on new R&D breakthroughs, Lome™ offers a low-cost, scalable solution, vastly outperforming Volta Greentech’s previously algae-based product, the company noted. With only a 2% reduction in agricultural emissions in Europe over the past two decades, the industry faces significant challenges in reaching its climate goals. The company unveiled that in order to address this urgent need, Volta Greentech’s feed additive offers a straight-forward solution in reducing methane emissions from cows, thereby supporting some of the largest food companies in curbing their GHG emissions. Volta Greentech provides feed additives and emission-reduction services taking full responsibility of measurements, reporting, and verification assisting customers in attaining sustainability goals cost-effectively. Multiple successful pilots have been completed with customers such as Coop, Orkla, Hemköp, Protos, and Martin & Servera.

This collaboration will drive the upscaling of key technologies required to mitigate food waste impacts, while contributing to the sustainable production of Australian farmed seafood. According to the companies, this is a win-win for the country’s food system. With a mission to mitigate food waste by transforming it into alternative proteins and sustainable fertilisers, Goterra is helping to combat climate change along the way. A key part of the Australian aquaculture industry since the 1990s, Skretting Australia has been at the forefront of driving feed innovation and sustainability in the Australian market across these 30 plus years. The company has shown considerable commitment to the development and validation of new novel ingredients in recent years. Both the global and local aquaculture industries are large and growing; it is essential for the global industry to support the development of novel ingredients, such as insect meals, to commercial scale. According to the companies, the local validation of insect meals marks the beginning of a new chapter of circularity for Australian aquaculture. Because, without the development and validation of new raw materials, aquaculture simply cannot grow in line with forecast demand. Read more>> Goterra and Skretting partner for aquafeed
