ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2024 51 ing programs, various natural supplements, longterm vaccine projects, and innovative synthetic compounds. Each of these methods comes with its own timeline for market entry and varying levels of efficacy. By validating our solution's technical, commercial, and financial feasibility, we believe it has the potential to integrate more easily into existing agricultural systems, positioning it as a frontrunner in the race to mitigate livestock methane emissions globally. As CH4 Global continues to lead the charge, our early milestones serve as a promising foundation for the future. The impact of our solution, however, extends far beyond these initial achievements. If Methane Tamer™ were to be adopted for only 10% of the world's cattle, it would deliver more climate benefit than decommissioning up to 100 million fossil-fuel-powered cars. But achieving this potential requires building out a complete end-toend supply chain from Asparagopsis cultivation to consumers' plates. That's CH4 Global's aim as it pioneers a new era of low-methane beef and dairy production – by harnessing the power of seaweed. About Steve Meller CH4 Global CEO Steve Meller, PhD, is an Australian-born entrepreneur, investor, innovator, founder, and board advisor. He has had successful careers as an executive and as a research professor. Dr Meller founded CH4 Global in 2018, realizing the potential for Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce the methane output of ruminants. Dr Meller has created and scaled innovative sustainability solutions around waste, water, energy, and materials, which have made more than USD 20 billion in bottom-line profit while reducing carbon impact. Cattle at HB Rural’s feedlot in South Australia consume feed supplemented with CH4 Global’s Methane Tamer™, Beef Feedlot version. Methane Tamer™ harnesses the power of Asparagopsis seaweed that feed studies have shown up to 90% reduction in enteric methane emissions. CH4 Global has fine-tuned Methane Tamer™ Beef Feedlot so that farmers and feedlots can seamlessly integrate it into their operations, and guarantees a minimum of 70% methane reductions throughout the lifetime of the product. Freeze-dried Asparagopsis, shown here, is the star ingredient in CH4 Global’s Methane Tamer™ Beef Feedlot supplement. When fed in small amounts to cattle as an additive to their daily rations, Methane Tamer™ Beef Feedlot delivers a guaranteed 70% reduction in enteric methane emissions.
