Taiwan’s Fisheries Research Institute (FRI, MOA) has shown that algae-based feed additives can substantially reduce enteric methane emissions, offering a promising mitigation pathway for the livestock sector. While trial results confirm clear emission reductions without harming animal performance, researchers note that broader application will require standardized measurement protocols, cost analyses for farm-level adoption, and regulatory clarity for feed approval. The findings support Taiwan’s agricultural methane-reduction plans, but scaling will depend on validating long-term effects, integrating additives into existing feeding systems, and establishing MRV systems capable of verifying reductions for potential incentive or crediting programs. Continued collaboration with producers will be essential for national deployment.
