Australian seaweed farm tackles livestock burps to combat climate change
May 15, 2025 | the japan times |
Off Tasmania’s coast, a 1,800-hectare seaweed farm is cultivating the red seaweed asparagopsis, known to significantly reduce methane emissions in livestock. Research by the University of New England shows the seaweed, rich in bromoform, can suppress up to 95% of livestock methane emissions without adverse health or meat quality impacts. Sea Forest, the farm operator, is collaborating with dairy and burger companies domestically and internationally. With global livestock emissions accounting for substantial methane pollution, this initiative presents an effective, sustainable solution, harnessing marine ecosystems without the need for fertilizers or irrigation.
