CH4 Global, a leading provider of methane reduction solutions, has announced a landmark partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation to expand the commercial sales of its Methane Tamer feed supplement in Australia. This partnership will also focus on the development of new product forms and the introduction of Methane Tamer in Japan, where the country’s 4 million cattle present a significant opportunity for reducing methane emissions. In addition, the companies aim to establish a supply chain for the production of Asparagopsis seaweed, the key ingredient in Methane Tamer, within Asia.
Steve Meller, co-founder and CEO of CH4 Global, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “This partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation marks another significant milestone in our mission to achieve gigaton-scale emissions reductions by 2035. Mitsubishi’s extensive experience in agricultural products and services, as well as their strong presence across Asian markets, make them an ideal partner as we work to expand the reach of our innovative methane reduction solution.”
The agreement between CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation will involve immediate collaboration across various workstreams. These include the development of regulatory pathways for the Japanese market, feed formulation work in Australia, and feasibility studies for scaled production facilities in Southeast Asia. By combining CH4 Global’s expertise in methane reduction technology with Mitsubishi Corporation’s market knowledge and distribution capabilities, the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of Methane Tamer and drive significant environmental impact.
Methane emissions from livestock, particularly cattle, are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions globally. By introducing Methane Tamer to new markets such as Japan and expanding its presence in Australia, CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation are taking proactive steps towards addressing this pressing environmental issue. With the potential to significantly reduce methane emissions from cattle, Methane Tamer offers a promising solution for sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation.
In addition to its environmental benefits, Methane Tamer also presents a valuable economic opportunity for farmers and stakeholders in the agricultural industry. By improving feed efficiency and reducing methane emissions from livestock, Methane Tamer can help farmers enhance their sustainability practices and meet regulatory requirements related to greenhouse gas emissions. The partnership between CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation aims to empower farmers with innovative solutions that not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the long-term success and resilience of the agricultural sector.
As part of their collaboration, CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation will work closely to optimize the production and distribution of Methane Tamer in key markets. This includes developing tailored feed formulations for different livestock species, conducting efficacy studies to demonstrate the benefits of Methane Tamer, and building a robust supply chain for Asparagopsis seaweed cultivation. By leveraging Mitsubishi Corporation’s resources and network in Asia, CH4 Global aims to scale up the production of Methane Tamer and make it more accessible to farmers across the region.
The partnership between CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation in the agriculture industry. By combining their respective strengths and expertise, the companies are poised to make a meaningful impact on reducing methane emissions from livestock and advancing sustainable agricultural practices. As they embark on this collaborative journey, CH4 Global and Mitsubishi Corporation are paving the way for a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future for the agriculture industry and beyond.
