It's been a pleasure to have a guest comeback to the show with Steve Meller of www.ch4global.com.  In this episode, we talked about CH4's mission "To meaningfully impact climate change at scale today, by harnessing the power of Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce methane from cows and making it easy for farmers to adopt." CH4 Global™, Inc. is on an urgent mission to address climate change by providing our seaweed-based Asparagopsis products to farmers worldwide so they can dramatically reduce the methane emissions of their livestock and realize significant value in the process. 

Founded in 2018, CH4 Global was the first company to obtain an IP license based on the original scientific research that proves the remarkable methane-mitigating benefits of Asparagopsis seaweed. 

Leveraging their deep expertise in product development and commercialization, they focus on bringing to market high-potency, customized formulations of Asparagopsis products for ruminant animal consumption, as well as an advanced technology ecosystem for hatching, growing, processing, and drying the seaweed.
