Half a billion Danish crowns is now on the table for feed additives! In a groundbreaking move, Denmark’s political parties - Enhedslisten, SF, and Radikal - have this week joined forces with the government to earmark around €67M (500M DKK) for combatting ruminant methane emissions through innovative additives. Pending the green light from the ‘grønne tripart,’ the over-seers of Danish agricultures green transformation, these funds will be dispersed from the climate-focused ‘green fund’, propelling Denmark towards its ambitious goal of slashing feed-digestion related emissions from cows by 8% starting January 1st, 2025. https://lnkd.in/deeu7fAt

Press-release! We are together with our customer Protos scaling up our long-standing collaboration with methane-reducing feed additives, with the ambition to make their brand Smak av Gotland the most climate-friendly choice of beef on the retail market in Sweden. After 3 years of collaboration and several pilot projects, Protos and Volta Greentech are taking the next step to scale up commercialisation of Lome™. In a letter of intent, Protos has committed to start to feed Lome™ to cattle in its supply chain. The effort will reach supermarket shelves under Protos’ brand Smak av Gotland. “It feels fantastic that we have taken this step with Volta Greentech to scale up and offer a very unique consumer offering through Smak av Gotland,” says Linda Ahlmalm, CCO at Protos. https://lnkd.in/d7Apa7-8

Policy update from Denmark: Denmarks strategy for a world-first carbon tax in agriculture has been unveiled. The Danish government has released a new report introducing strategies to tackle agricultural emissions, notably through the implementation of carbon taxes. Dive into our latest blog post for an insightful breakdown of these models and their potential impact. https://lnkd.in/dezC4zxa

COP28 took the bull by the horns This year’s United Nations Climate Conference, COP28, is now over. We see two reasons why COP28 outcomes will support the mission to cut cow burps. 1. $200M in funding to reduce methane emissions from cow burps Agri food systems typically attract next to no climate finance compared to other sectors. Fortunately, climate finance for food systems has started to move rapidly. More than $7 billion has been pledged for food and agriculture since the start of the COP28 summit in Dubai. Cows burps, responsible for about 40% of agricultural emissions, got a fair bite of this budget. The Global Methane Hub, for example, launched the Enteric Fermentation R&D accelerator. This includes funding from the Bezos Earth Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It aims to globally coordinate efforts of reducing methane from cow burps and comes complete with funding of $200M. 2. New FAO roadmap to reduce 25% methane emissions from livestock by 2030 The FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nation, released their first ever roadmap to reduce emissions in the agriculture industry. It includes milestones and goals that describe a clear path for bringing the agriculture industry in line with 1.5 degrees. Methane from cow burps, known as enteric methane, is responsible for 69% of the EU’s agricultural methane emissions. Reducing these enteric methane contributions will be essential to meet the goals and milestones. These include a 25% reduction in methane emissions from livestock by 2030 and a halving of methane emissions from agri-food systems by 2045. It will take some serious action and investment, but it’s good to have the pathway laid out by FAO. With this new roadmap, investors and policy makers can start to plot the way forward. It will also make it clear when we are not on track. If politicians start claiming that we can make our climate targets without dedicated policy action in agriculture, we now have something concrete that we can use to hold us all accountable Why do we care? We care a lot about reducing emissions from the food industry, particularly from beef and dairy. Beef and dairy are expected to be responsible for over 50% of the food sector’s contribution to rising temperatures by 2030. Enteric methane is the major reason for this, responsible for 40% of beef and dairy’s footprint. Solutions to cut livestock emissions exist. With this support and funding, we can start scaling them up rapidly. Volta Greentech’s Lome™ cuts enteric methane by up to 90% when dosed daily. https://lnkd.in/dGq_qxY5
