The Methane Challenge in Modern Agriculture
How innovative technology is turning a major climate problem into an economic opportunity for farmers.
A Silent Climate Culprit
Enteric methane from livestock, a natural part of their digestion, is a potent greenhouse gas. It represents a significant portion of all human-caused methane emissions and has a powerful short-term impact on global warming.
This single source is responsible for approximately 0.1°C of the global temperature rise, making it a critical target for climate mitigation efforts.
The Pasture Conundrum: An Unaddressed Frontier
Why Pastures Matter Most
The vast majority of enteric methane doesn't come from industrial feedlots, but from cattle grazing on open pastures. This presents a massive logistical challenge.
Traditional methods of delivering methane-reducing additives by mixing them into feed are simply impractical for free-roaming herds. This leaves the single largest source of emissions largely untreated—until now.
The Science of Methane Reduction
Potent Feed Additives
Science has provided powerful tools to inhibit methane production in livestock. Additives like 3-NOP (Bovaer) and bromoform (found in red algae) have proven highly effective in scientific trials.
These substances work by directly targeting the methane-producing microbes in an animal's digestive system. The challenge has never been efficacy, but rather effective, scalable delivery to the animals that need it most.
The CH4Guard Innovation: Solving the Delivery Problem
CH4Guard provides the missing link: an automated, precision dosing system that delivers additives through drinking water, reaching every animal, anywhere.
Water Source
Connects to any farm water supply.
CH4Guard System
Automatically doses additives with precision.
Pasture & Feedlot
Effectively treats all cattle.
Verified Data
Real-time monitoring and compliance-ready reports.
From Cost to Revenue: The Carbon Credit Opportunity
Monetizing Methane Reduction
Climate action can be profitable. By reducing methane emissions, farmers can generate valuable carbon credits. Each credit represents one metric ton of CO2 equivalent that has been prevented from entering the atmosphere.
The CH4Guard system's ability to provide accurate, verifiable data is crucial. It simplifies the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) process, unlocking access to these lucrative carbon markets for farmers.
