CH4 Global is a climate tech company with a strong focus on agricultural technology. Headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, the company was founded in 2018 with the goal of combating the growing problem of methane emissions and their contribution to climate change. Emitting more than 84 times the climate-heating power of carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 20-year period, methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases. Methane emissions are growing rapidlyundefined and livestock agriculture is a major contributor. Ruminant methane represents 30% of global methane emissions.

Products and innovations
CH4 Global is using Asparagopsis in a targeted formulation optimized for methane reduction in beef feedlot cattle and for ease of use in farmers’ current operations. In 2021, CH4 Global became the first company in the world to be licensed by intellectual property holders FutureFeed to use Asparagopsis in livestock feed, with the aim of significantly reducing enteric methane emissions in ruminants. These licenses enable CH4 Global to make methane reduction claims about the Asparagopsis in their product formulations in the New Zealand and Australian markets, where the company has research and production facilities.

In 2023, CH4 Global introduced Methane Tamer™, its product line of feed additives for ruminant animals. The first product formulation product released in the line is Methane Tamer™ Beef Feedlot. If adopted for only 10% of cattle worldwide, Methane Tamer™ Beef Feedlot would deliver more climate benefit than decommissioning 50-100 million fossil-fueled cars (using the baselines of the 20- and 100-year Global Warming Potential metric).

Complementing the Methane Tamer™ product line are CH4 Global EcoPark™, the company’s vision of scalable commercial facilities for cost-effectively producing and processing Asparagopsis seaweed and the finished products. These are a vital part of the company’s Asparagopsis platform and, when embodied in multiple locations, become a unique pathway to expand production of the seaweed required to meet the company’s targets— one gigatonne of methane reduction by 2030.
