NEWS 116 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2024 Climate tech company on a mission to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, CH4 Global Inc. announced the signing of its first offtake agreement to export reduced-methane beef from Australia. This milestone agreement with CirPro (Australia) will enable the companies to scale production of CH4 Global's Asparagopsis-based feed supplement, Methane Tamer™, to meet the growing global demand for sustainably produced, low-carbon beef. Under the terms of the agreement, CH4 Global explains it will significantly increase the supply of Methane Tamer™ to CirPro and its feedlot partners, HB Rural and Mort & Co. This will allow for the production of reduced-methane beef from at least 100,000 cattle per day, with a significant portion destined for export markets where consumer demand for low-carbon sustainably produced beef is surging. The first shipment of reduced-methane beef is slated for export later this year, following the successful commercial implementation of Methane Tamer™ in South Australian beef feedlots earlier this year. "This offtake agreement is a game-changer for the global beef industry and a major milestone in our mission to bend the climate curve," says Dr. Steve Meller, CEO of CH4 Global. "By partnering with industry leaders like CirPro, HB Rural, and Mort & Co, we are now positioned to meet the burgeoning international demand for beef with a significantly lower carbon footprint."

The newly formed company comes as part of a buyout of UK-headquartered DeepBranch Biotechnology Ltd, with the core management team of Kaspar Kristiansen (CEO), Rob Mansfield (CTO) and Peter Rowe (CXO), and Chairperson Lars Topholm retained to forge a new path for the business. Several announcements related to Aerbio’s technology development, board composition and other topics are set to follow in the coming weeks and months. Aerbio CEO, Kaspar Kristiansen states: “At Aerbio, we don’t just follow the rules for fermentation—we rewrite them. With the acquisition of Deep Branch’s groundbreaking (R)evolve™ platform, we’re able to harness a technology to convert simple molecules into sustainable, high-value products and use it at the centre of a new, bolder direction built in close collaboration with our shareholders and management team.” As one of the pioneers of aerobic gas fermentation, Aerbio is positioned at the forefront of a revolution in the field of industrial biotechnology where the traditional reliance on sugar as source of carbon and energy is addressed. The company explains its primary focus for their technology that uses carbon dioxide and hydrogen in the same way most fermentation processes use sugar as to scale production of Proton™, a protein-rich ingredient poised to revolutionize food and animal nutrition.
