CH4 Global, Inc. and Mitsubishi Corporation have joined forces in a strategic partnership to drive the adoption of Methane Tamer™, a revolutionary methane-reducing cattle feed supplement, in key markets across the Asia-Pacific region. This collaboration aims to introduce Methane Tamer™ in Japan, expand its presence in Australia, and explore opportunities for scaled production of its key ingredient, Asparagopsis seaweed, to cater to the growing demand in Asia.
The partnership between CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation is a significant step towards achieving gigaton-scale emissions reductions by 2035. According to CH4 Global Co-Founder and CEO Steve Meller, this collaboration with Mitsubishi Corporation is crucial in expanding the reach of their innovative methane reduction solution. Mitsubishi Corporation’s extensive experience in agricultural products and services, coupled with its strong presence in Asian markets, makes them an ideal partner for CH4 Global.
Methane Tamer™, CH4 Global’s flagship product, is a proprietary feed supplement that leverages the power of Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce enteric methane emissions from cattle by up to 90% when used as recommended. This innovative solution addresses a major source of methane emissions globally, as methane is significantly more potent than CO2 in trapping heat over a 20-year period.
As part of the partnership agreement, CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation will collaborate on various initiatives, including the expansion of commercial sales of Methane Tamer™ in Australia and the introduction of the product in Japan, where there is a substantial opportunity for methane emissions reduction. The companies will also explore opportunities for scaled production of Asparagopsis seaweed in Southeast Asia, drawing on Mitsubishi’s expertise in the aquaculture and agricultural sectors in the region.
The partnership will involve multiple workstreams, including the development of a regulatory pathway for the Japanese market, feed formulation work in Australia, and feasibility studies for scaled production facilities in Southeast Asia. By combining their strengths and resources, CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation aim to accelerate the adoption of Methane Tamer™ and contribute to significant reductions in methane emissions from cattle in the Asia-Pacific region.
In conclusion, the partnership between CH4 Global, Inc. and Mitsubishi Corporation represents a strategic collaboration focused on driving the adoption of Methane Tamer™ in key markets across the Asia-Pacific region. With a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation, these two companies are poised to make a meaningful impact on reducing methane emissions from cattle and advancing environmental conservation efforts in the region.
