HENDERSON, Nev.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jan 21, 2025–
CH4 Global, Inc. today announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation to accelerate the adoption of CH4 Global’s methane-reducing cattle feed supplement across key Asia-Pacific markets.
The multi-pronged partnership will focus on expanding commercial sales of CH4 Global’s Methane Tamer™ in Australia, including the development of new product forms. The companies will also collaborate to validate and introduce Methane Tamer in Japan, where approximately 4 million cattle, including calves and breeding stock, represent a significant opportunity for methane emissions reduction.
Additionally, the partnership will explore opportunities for scaled production of Asparagopsis seaweed, the key ingredient in Methane Tamer, to supply Asian markets. The companies will evaluate potential production sites in Southeast Asia, leveraging Mitsubishi’s extensive regional expertise in the aquaculture and agricultural segments.
“This partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation marks another significant milestone in our mission to achieve gigaton-scale emissions reductions by 2035,” said CH4 Global Co-Founder and CEO Steve Meller. “Mitsubishi’s deep experience in agricultural products and services and strong presence across Asian markets makes them an ideal partner as we work to expand the reach of our innovative methane reduction solution.”
Methane Tamer, CH4 Global’s flagship product innovation, is a proprietary feed supplement that harnesses the power of Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce enteric methane emissions from cattle by up to 90% when used as recommended. The product addresses one of the largest sources of methane emissions globally, as methane is more than 80 times more potent than CO2 in trapping heat over a 20-year period.
Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will begin immediate collaboration across multiple workstreams, including regulatory pathway development for the Japanese market, feed formulation work in Australia, and feasibility studies for scaled production facilities in Southeast Asia.
