Our feed additive is inexpensive, safe for cattle, and can reduce their methane emissions by 97%
Methane is a short-term pollutant. It only stays in the atmosphere for about a decade1, but while it’s there, it is 104x more potent2 than CO2. By cutting methane emissions, we can slow warming.
Ruminants, mainly cattle, account for 27% of annual methane emissions in the USA.

With Alga’s supplement making up just 0.5% of the cattle’s diet, methane emission can be reduced by 97%. Alga’s solution is effective, cheap, and available.
Just one cow eating Alga’s feed additive can reduce methane output equivalent to a car driven 12,000 miles.
