Seaweed derived emissions solution
Methane emissions reduction was again the subject of the story that comes in fourth in the rankings.
Nevada, US-based company, CH4 Global, claims it has found a novel way to drive down the costs of growing and processing the reported methane emissions blocker - the red seaweed known as Asparagopsis - while preserving the bioactivity of the final product.
“In October last year, we filed patents related to the expensive parts of production: the growing out of the seaweed at large scale and the processing of it. We have found ways to decrease the costs of those parts of the process tenfold.
“And what that means for our overall end to end production and our final product costs is that they will be significantly lower than the costs anyone else in this competitive space is facing today or is likely to face in the near future,” Steve Meller, CEO and founder of CH4 Global, told us.
