Agteria Biotech hat einen Weg gefunden, die Methanemissionen von Kühen zu reduzieren

Swedish company [Agteria Biotech](https://agteria.com/) has developed tech to reduce [methane emissions](https://tech.eu/2024/02/29/climate-tech-startup-atmio-emerges-from-stealth-with-1-5m-funding-to-combat-methane-emissions/) from cows burping and farting. 

Yep you read that right. 

It’s not a new idea. Numerous attempts have been made to solve this problem, such as [Volta Greentech](https://www.voltagreentech.com/) using compounds from red seaweed and [Zelp](https://www.zelp.co/), which is developing a harness worn by cattle over their heads to reduce greenhouse gases from their breath. However, all of these suffer from the challenges of cost, scale, and effectiveness. 

Cows are bad for the environment. They represent approximately 10 per cent of global GHG, about 5 gigatons annually. Methane emissions are 80 times more potent than co2, and cow burps and farts are the biggest methane emitters. But now they might be just a bit less polluting.
