According to The Asahi Shimbun, in the battle against climate change, a startup company is using a new technology to mass-produce seaweed that can help reduce methane gas emitted in cattle burps.
Sunshiki Co. plans to commercialize the method created by a team of researchers primarily from Kochi University. The researchers found that certain seaweed added to the diets of cattle slashes greenhouse gas emissions in the bovines’ belches. According to the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization in Ibaraki Prefecture, methane’s greenhouse effect is 28 times that of carbon dioxide. A dairy cow is believed to release 500 liters of methane per day through its burps. Belches of ruminant animals, including cattle, account for an estimated 5 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions around the world. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15226796
