Climate Connections: Cow burps & farts contribute to greenhouse gases. But seaweed diets could change that.

from Climate Connections · host MONEY FM 89.3

Did you know that cows burp and fart just like humans? Each time a cow burps or passes out gas, a little puff of methane wafts into the atmosphere. In fact, a single cow can produce 70 to 120 kg of methane a year. On this episode of Climate Connections, we shine a spotlight on 2023 Earthshot Prize Finalist Sam Elsom, Co-Founder and CEO of Sea Forest - a climate startup that has come up with a way to utilise red seaweed to reduce methane emissions from cows and other livestock.
