"Livestock industries are responsible for 24% of the total global greenhouse gas emission, mostly methane, originating from ruminant enteric fermentation (40%) and manure management (10%). Methane has a global warming impact of almost 30 times bigger than CO2 during its natural life cycle of 10 years. As a result, cutting methane emissions would strongly complement CO2 net zero emission activities. However, capturing CH4 from the air is more challenging than capturing CO2.
Our mission is to save our planet by creating a sustainable circular economy in the farming industry by reducing methane emission and turning it into renewable source of energy. First and foremost, we want to reduce the emission of CH4 but in addition to that, we want to capture and store CH4. We believe this is an important part of our mission to the climate crisis. Our solution to push our mission forward is to capture the methane discharges from the cow’s burp which stands for 95% of the total enteric fermentation methane.
We propose the vacuum-assisted methane capture (VAMC) from cow’s burp and subsequent conversion to useful energy sources. The VAMC takes the advantage of the double-bag gas permeable membrane to provide continuous degassing of the methane from the livestock environment. This new initiative concept avoids methane emission through primary local sources and is less expensive and more efficient than capturing methane from ambient air.
The relatively simple process assists in mitigating global warming in an eco-friendly and sustainable approach. Our bright vision foresees a seemingly intuitive solution that can be easily applied in agricultural industries for methane capture and reuse. Our aspiration is to equip all dairy farms with our technology not only to help combat climate change but also to benefit farmers in the long-term from renewable methane waste and provide them additional revenue."
